The aim of this study is to use neural network tools as an environmental decision support in assessing environmental quality. A three-layer feedforward neural network using three learning approaches of BP, LM and GA-BP has been applied in non-linear modelling for the problem of environmental quality assessment. The case study shows that the well designed and trained neural networks are effective and form a useful tool for the prediction of environmental quality. Furthermore, the LM network has the fastest convergence speed and the GA-BP network outperforms the other two networks in both predictive and final classification accuracies of environmental quality.

Posterior probability support vector machines (PPSVMs) are proved to have good generalization performance and robustness against outliers. However, the disadvantage of a PPSVM is lack of sparseness of solution, i.e., the number of support vectors is still too large. This results in high computational burden and decision time. In this paper, we present two approaches to obtain sparse PPSVMs, which are expected to combine benefits of both PPSVMs and sparse classifiers. The first approach sparsifies the PPSVMs by adding l 1 norm penalties on the dual cost function of soft margin PPSVMs. The second one handles a mixed l 1 -l 2 multi-objective optimization by interior-point algorithm. Simulation results show that both approaches have good generalization performance, good robustness against outliers, and high efficiency on decision evaluation.

The recent growing interest for location-based services (LBSs) has created a demand on more accurate and robust object localization approaches. In this paper, the Bayesian compressed sensing (BCS) is employed to localize a single or multiple objects in a wireless sensor network (WSN). This is motivated by the advantages of BCS such as closer to l 0 -norm, and better performance of reconstruction in case of noisy measurements. Due to the spatial sparsity of number of girds containing an object (comparing with the total number of grids in the region of interest), the localization problem can be transferred into recovering a spare index vector, which is reformulated as a Bayesian estimation problem according to the BCS theory. The proposed method is relieved from the requirement on accurate prior position knowledge of beacon nodes. Besides, by building location fingerprinting based on both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) measurements, the proposed method is robust and applicable to mixed LOS/NLOS environment. Finally, simulation examples are included to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.

As the progressive effects of global warming, the yield loss caused by diseases and pests are increasing in winter wheat. It is necessary to distinguish different diseases for guiding variable rate spraying in wheat. Nevertheless, it is very difficult to quantitatively identify different diseases and fertilizer-water stress by specific sensitive bands selected from multi spectral data over a large area. Conversely, hyper spectral data contain more information, and provide the potential for quantitative identification of different stresses. This study focused on identification and distinction of yellow rust, powdery mildew and fertilizer-water stress by canopy spectral reflectance. Fifteen commonly used vegetation indices were selected, and independent t-test was done to get sensitivity index for each stress. Finally, a combination index was optimally selected to distinguish the three stresses. The results showed that the integrative index (NDVI-PhRI) combining normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and physiological reflectance index (PhRI) could be used to identify powdery mildew and yellow rust (PM-YR). A 2-dimensional spatial coordinate was established based on the NDVI and PhRI derived from hyper spectral data, then the different stress data were displayed in the spatial coordinate and the classification boundary could be used to identify the powdery mildew and yellow rust stress. Similarly, yellow rust and fertilizer-water stress (YR-n0w0) can be distinguished by the combination index (MSR-PhRI) derived from modified simple ratio (MSR) and physiological reflectance index (PhRI);and the combination index (NRI-RVSI) derived from nitrogen reflectance index (NRI) and red-edge vegetation stress index (RVSI) was accurate to identify powdery mildew and fertilizer-water stress (PM-n0w0). For the PM-YR, YR-n0w0 and PM-n0w0 models, their verification accuracies were 83.3%, 88%, 88.75%, and the kappa accuracies were 63.41%, 74.79%, 71.43%, respectively. It indicate
