In order to help human expert resolve the problem of diagnosing disease, we analyze the comparability and relativity between patternrecognition and disease diagnosis in terms of the solution means, and propose the theoretical model of disease-similarity-degree patternrecognition on the basis of certainty factors vectors and fuzzy membership factors vectors, and its corresponding data structure mode. In addition, the software hierarchy of model and recognition algorithm, and its practice method are designed. Field experiment statistics demonstrate that: compared with the individual human expert, the proposed model be able to obtain a favorable accuracy rate of diagnosis over 85%, and reduce a rate of misdiagnosis effectively, which provided with a preferential comprehensive diagnosis performance.

In this paper, it is shown how a Leaky Integrate and Fire (LIF) neuron can be applied to solve non-linear patternrecognition problems. Given a set of input patterns belonging to K classes, each input pattern is transformed into an input signal, then the LIF neuron is stimulated during T ms and finally the firing rate is computed. After adjusting the synaptic weights of the neuron model, we expect that input patterns belonging to the same class generate almost the same firing rate and input patterns belonging to different classes generate firing rates different enough to discriminate among the different classes. At last, a comparison between a feed-forward neural network and the LIF neuron is presented when applied to solve non-linear problems.

The barycenter graph has been shown as an alternative to obtain the representative of a given set of graphs. In this paper we propose an extension of the original algorithm which makes use of the graph edit distance in conjunction with the weighted mean of a pair of graphs. Our main contribution is that we can apply the method to attributed graphs with any kind of labels in both the nodes and the edges, equipped with a distance function less constrained than in previous approaches. Experiments done on four different datasets support the validity of the method giving good approximations of the barycenter graph.

In this paper, we propose to classify medical images using dissimilarities computed between collections of regions of interest. The images are mapped into a dissimilarity space using an image dissimilarity measure, and a standard vector space-based classifier is applied in this space. The classification output of this approach can be used in computer aided-diagnosis problems where the goal is to detect the presence of abnormal regions or to quantify the extent or severity of abnormalities in these regions. The proposed approach is applied to quantify chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in computed tomography (CT) images, achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.817. This is significantly better compared to combining individual region classifications into an overall image classification, and compared to common computerized quantitative measures in pulmonary CT.

This paper extends the transition method for binarization based on transition pixels, a generalization of edge pixels. This method originally computes transition thresholds using the quantile thresholding algorithm, that has a critical parameter. We achieved an automatic version of the transition method by computing the transition thresholds with the Rosin's algorithm. We experimentally tested four variants of the transition method combining the density and cumulative distribution functions of transition values, with gray-intensity thresholds based on the normal and lognormal density functions. The results of our experiments show that these unsupervised methods yields superior binarization compared with top-ranked algorithms.

In recent several years, the rough set theory has been rapidly developed and applied in patternrecognition, machinery study, decision-making analysis and supporting. The theory of rough sets deals with the approximation of an arbitrary subset of a universe by two definable or observable subsets called lower and upper approximation. In this paper, we shall extend rough sets to module theory by introducing the notions of so called lower and upper rough submodules in a R-module, and give two main results as follows: If A and B are upper rough θ w -submodules of M, then A+B is an upper rough θ w -submodule of M; If A and B are lower rough θ w -submodules of M, then A∩B is an lower rough θ w -submodule of M.

Human recognition based on the iris biometric is severely impacted when encountering non-ideal images of the eye characterized by occluded irises, motion and spatial blur, poor contrast, and illumination artifacts. This paper discusses the use of the periocular region surrounding the iris, along with the iris texture patterns, in order to improve the overall recognition performance in such images. Periocular texture is extracted from a small, fixed region of the skin surrounding the eye. Experiments on the images extracted from the Near Infra-Red (NIR) face videos of the Multi Biometric Grand Challenge (MBGC) dataset demonstrate that valuable information is contained in the periocular region and it can be fused with the iris texture to improve the overall identification accuracy in non-ideal situations.

New patternrecognition method is considered that is based on ensembles of ”syndromes”. The developed method that is referred to as Multi-model statistically weighted syndromes (MSWS) is further development of earlier Statistically Weighted Syndromes (SWS) method. ”Syndromes” are subregions in space of prognostic features where content of objects from one of the classes differs significantly from the same class contents in neighboring subregions. ”Syndromes” are discussed as simple basic classifiers that are combined with the help of weighted voting procedure. Method of optimal partitioning of input features space is used for ”syndromes” searching. At that ”syndromes” are selected depending on quality of data separation and complexity of used partitioning model (partitions family). Performance of MSWS is compared with performance of SWS and alternative techniques in several applied tasks. Influence of recognition ability on characteristics of ”syndromes” selection is studied.

This paper proposes the use of a new symmetry property based on proximity of the median moments in the wavelet domain. The method divides a given frame into 16 equally sized blocks to classify the true text frame. The average of high frequency subbands of a block is used for computing median moments to brighten the text pixel in a block of video frame. Then K-means clustering with K=2 is applied on the median moments of the block to classify it as a probable text block. For classified blocks, average wavelet median moments are computed for a sliding window. We introduce Max-Min cluster to classify the probable text pixel in each probable text block. The four quadrants are formed from the centroid of the probable text pixels. The new concept called symmetry is introduced to identify the true text block based on proximity between probable text pixels in each quadrant. If the frame produces at least one true text block, it is considered as a text frame otherwise a non-text frame. The method is tested on three datasets to evaluate the robustness of the method in classification of text frames in terms of recall and precision.
