While image segmentation is a fundamental and general task of image processing and computer vision, the segmentation of trunks in wood can be considered as a specific, ill posed, and hard problem. However, besides the lots of possible applications of it, the problems to be faced are general and can be found in other areas of open-air image analysis. In our paper we discuss these problems and propose a color clustering based approach as a feature generation step for the segmentation of trunks. The results of classification can be used as features for further segmentation techniques such as MRF. The possibility to apply for angle count based volume estimation is also discussed. The performance is shown through several tests with different types of wood.

This research explores the viability of a bimodal fusion of linguistic and acoustic cues in speech to help in real-time emotion recognition in a mobile application that steers the interaction dialogue in tune with user's emotions. For capturing affect at the language level, we have utilized both, machine learning and valence assessment of the words carrying emotional connotations. The indicative values of acoustic cues in speech are of special concern in this research and an optimized feature set is proposed. We highlight the results of both independent evaluations of the underlying linguistic and acoustic processing components. We present a study and ensuing discussion on the performance metrics of a logistic model tree that has outperformed the other classifiers considered for the fusion process. The results reinforce the notion that capturing the sound interplay between the diverse set of features is crucial for confronting the subtleties of affect in speech that so often elude the text- or acoustic-only approaches to emotion recognition.

Changes of direction (COD) are an important aspect of soccer match play. Understanding the physiological and biomechanical demands on players in games allows sports scientists to effectively train and rehabilitate soccer players. COD are conventionally recorded using manually annotated time-motion video analysis which is highly time consuming, so more time-efficient approaches are required. The aim was to develop an automated classification model based on multi-sensor player tracking device data to detect COD > 45 degrees. Video analysis data and individual multi-sensor player tracking data (GPS, accelerometer, gyroscopic) for 23 academy-level soccer players were used. A novel 'GPS-COD Angle' variable was developed and used in model training;along with 24 GPS-derived, gyroscope and accelerometer variables. Video annotation was the ground truth indicator of occurrence of COD > 45 degrees. The random forest classifier using the full set of features demonstrated the highest accuracy (AUROC = 0.957, 95% CI = 0.956-0.958, Sensitivity = 0.941, Specificity = 0.772. To balance sensitivity and specificity, model parameters were optimised resulting in a value of 0.889 for both metrics. Similarly high levels of accuracy were observed for random forest models trained using a reduced set of features, accelerometer-derived variables only, and gyroscope-derived variables only. These results point to the potential effectiveness of the novel methodology implemented in automatically identifying COD in soccer players.

Coffee leaf rust (CLR) is one of the most devastating leaf diseases in coffee plantations. By knowing the symptoms, severity, and spatial distribution of CLR, farmers can improve disease management procedures and reduce losses associated with it. Recently, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)-based images, in conjunction with machine learning (ML) techniques, helped solve multiple agriculture-related problems. In this sense, vegetation indices processed with ML algorithms are a promising strategy. It is still a challenge to map severity levels of CLR using remote sensing data and an ML approach. Here we propose a framework to detect CLR severity with only vegetation indices extracted from UAV imagery. For that, we based our approach on decision treemodels, as they demonstrated important results in related works. We evaluated a coffee field with different infestation classes of CLR: class 1 (from 2% to 5% rust);class 2 (from 5% to 10% rust);class 3 (from 10% to 20% rust), and;class 4 (from 20% to 40% rust). We acquired data with a Sequoia camera, producing images with a spatial resolution of 10.6 cm, in four spectral bands: green (530-570 nm), red (640-680 nm), red-edge (730-740 nm), and nearinfrared (770-810 nm). A total of 63 vegetation indices was extracted from the images, and the following learners were evaluated in a cross-validation method with 10 folders: logistic model tree (LMT);J48;Extratree;REPtree;Functional trees (FT);Random tree (RT), and;Random Forest (RF). The results indicated that the LMT method contributed the most to the accurate prediction of early and several infestation classes. For these classes, LMT returned F-measure values of 0.915 and 0.875, thus being a good indicator of early CLR (2 to 5% of rust) and later stages of CLR (20 to 40% of rust). We demonstrated a valid approach to model rust in coffee plants using only vegetation indices and ML algorithms, specifically for the disease's early and later stages. We concluded that the proposed fra

This paper focuses on landslide susceptibility prediction in Nanchuan, a high-risk landslide disaster area. The evidential belief function (EBF)-based function tree (FT), logistic regression (LR), and logistic model tree (LMT) were applied to Nanchuan District, China. Firstly, an inventory with 298 landslides was compiled and separated into two parts (70%: 209;30%: 89) as training and validation datasets. Then, based on the EBF method, theBelvalues of 16 conditioning factors related to landslide occurrence were calculated, and theseBelvalues were used as input data for building other models. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the values of the area under the ROC curve (AUC) were used to evaluate and compare the prediction ability of the four models. All the models achieved good results and performed well. In particular, the LMT model had the best performance (0.847 and 0.765, obtained from the training and validation datasets, respectively). This paper also demonstrates the superiority of integration and optimization of models in landslide susceptibility evaluation. Finally, the best classification method was selected to draw landslide susceptibility maps, which may be helpful for government administrators and engineers to carry out land design and planning.

The authors in this paper propose a statistical technique for pattern recognition of electromyogram (EMG) signals along with effective feature ensemble to achieve an improved classification performance with less processing time and memory space. In this study, EMG signals from 10 healthy subjects and two transradial amputees for six motions of hand and wrist is considered for identification of the intended motion. From four channels myoelectric signals, the extracted time domain features are grouped into three ensembles to identify the effectiveness of feature ensemble in classification. The three feature ensembles obtained from multichannel continuous EMG signals are applied to the new classifiers namely simple logistic regression (SLR), J48 algorithm for decision tree (DT), logistic model tree (LMT) and feature subspace ensemble using k-nearest neighbor (kNN). Novel classifiers SLR, DT and LMT, select only the dominant features during training to develop the model for pattern recognition. This selection of features reduces the processing time as well as memory space of the controller for real-time application. The performance of SLR, DT, LMT and feature subspace ensemble using kNN classifiers are compared with other conventional classifiers, such as neural network (NN), simple kNN and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The average classification accuracy with SLR is found to be better with feature ensemble-1 compared to the other classifiers. Also, the statistical Kruscal-Wallis test shows, the classification performance of SLR is not only better but also takes less time and memory space compared to other classifiers for classification. Also the performance of the classifier is tested in real-time with transradial amputees for actuation of drive for two intended motions with TMS320F28335eZdsp controller. The experimental results show that the SLR classifier improves the controller response in real-time.

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a new kind of solid-state welding technique. Rigid and reliable joints in intricate shapes are possible with FSW. This type of welding process is frequently used in many commercial applications like automobile, shipbuilding, aerospace, and many more. The monitoring of the welding tool condition is essential for the inline process to identify and avoid the early defect of the workpiece and the breakdown due to the increase of the ideal condition of the machinery. Condition monitoring of the FSW tool is an advanced and novel predictive maintenance technique, in which the real-time vibration data are collected from the FSW machine under different operating conditions using an accelerometer sensor. The acquired vibration signals were analyzed using the machine learning approaches through feature extraction and feature classification. This paper aims the vibration analysis based on FSW tool condition monitoring using machine learning algorithms such as decision tree, logistic model tree (LMT), Hoeffeding, and Random forest. Among all classifiers, Random Forest gives better results.
