This noise-assisted approach decomposes any time series into a number of intrinsic mode functions, along with the corresponding instantaneous amplitudes and instantaneous frequencies. Different combinations of modes allow us to reconstruct the time series using components of different timescales. We then apply Hilbert spectral analysis to define and compute the associated instantaneous energy-frequency spectrum to illustrate the properties of various timescales embedded in the original time series. Using HHT, we generate a collection of new features and integrate them into machine learning models, such as regression tree ensemble, support vector machine (SVM), and long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network. Using empirical financial data, we compare several HHT-enhanced machine learning models in terms of forecasting performance.","PeriodicalId":433297,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Signal Processing (Topic)","volume":"1025 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116247478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nature provides many ideas for computer scientists. One of these ideas is the orderly way in which the organisms work in nature when they are in groups. If the group itself is treated as an individual (the swarm), the swarm is more intelligent than any individual in the group. Crow Search Algorithm (CSA) is a meta-heuristic optimizer where individuals emulate the intelligent behavior in a group of crows. It is based on simulating the intelligent behavior of crow flocks and attempts to imitate the social intelligence of a crow flock in their food gathering process.  This paper presents a novel meta-heuristic approach based on the Crow Search Algorithm (CSA), where at the beginning the color cover image is converted into three channels (RGB) and then those channels are converted into three spaces, which are Y, Cb, Cr. After applying Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) on each space separately, the CSA algorithm is used on each space (YCbCr) to find the best location that will be used to hide secret information, the CSA is used to increase the security force by finding the best locations that have high frequency and are invulnerable to attacks, the DWT is used to increase robustness against noise. The proposed system is implemented on three fingerprint cover images for experiments, for the quality of stego image the histogram, Mean Squared Error (MSE), Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Number of Pixel Change Rate Test (NPCR), Structural Similarity Index Metric (SSIM) and Correlation Coefficients (CC) are computed. The result demonstrated the strength of the CSA to hide data, also discovered that using CSA may lead to finding favorable results compared to the other algorithms","PeriodicalId":433297,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Signal Processing (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133114705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This type of analysis implies calculating the number of DCT coefficients pairs, whose coordinates in the frequency domain differ by a fixed quantity (the offset). Based on these values, a classifier is trained for a certain large enough data sample, which, based on the distribution of the DCT coefficients pairs for an individual image, determines the presence of additional information in it. A method based on the preliminary container modification before embedding a message has been proposed to mitigate the probability of hidden message detection. The so-called Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), consisting of two related neural networks, generator and discriminator, was used for the modification. The generator creates a modified image based on the original container; the discriminator verifies the degree to which the modified image is close to the preset one and provides feedback for the generator. By using a GAN, based on the original container, such a modified container is generated so that, following the embedding of a known steganographic message, the distribution of DCT coefficients pairs is maximally close to the indicators of the original container. We have simulated the operation of the proposed modification; based on the simulation results, the probabilities have been computed of the proper detection of the hidden information in the container when it was modified and when it was not. The simulation results have shown that the application of the modification based on modern information technologies (such as machine learning and neural networks) could significantly reduce the likelihood of message detection and improve the resistance against a steganographic analysis","PeriodicalId":433297,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Signal Processing (Topic)","volume":"199 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132961431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These plants are widely used in the area of research where recognition of useful/beneficial plants located in nearby locality becomes necessity of people, so they can take advantage in their daily life to cure diseases. It is apparent that there in need of machine which can automatically recognize the herbal plant. Such machines need to be training for plant recognition. Several physical features like roots, stem, leaf pattern, color, shape of leaf, number of petals are used to recognize and identify plants. Most prominent organ is the leaf shape as it is available throughout the year. Therefore, researchers considered leaf as an important part to recognized plant easily and accurately.

One of the fields of most significant interest in Digital Image Processing corresponds to segmentation, a process that breaks down an image into its different components that make it up. A technique widely used in the literature is called Region Growing, this technique makes the identification of textures, through the use of characteristic and particular vectors. However, the level of its computational complexity is high. The traditional methods of Region growing are based on the comparison of grey levels of neighbouring pixels, and usually, fail when the region to be segmented contains intensities similar to adjacent regions. However, if a broad tolerance is indicated in its thresholds, the detected limits will exceed the region to identify; on the contrary, if the threshold tolerance decreases too much, the identified region will be less than the desired one. In the analysis of textures, multiple scenes can be seen as the composition of different textures. The visual texture refers to the impression of roughness or smoothness that some surfaces created by the variations of tones or repetition of visual patterns therein. The texture analysis techniques are based on the assignment of one or several parameters indicating the characteristics of the texture present to each region of the image. This paper shows how a parallel algorithm was implemented to solve open problems in the area of image segmentation research. Region growing is an advanced approach to image segmentation in which neighbouring pixels are examined one by one and added to an appropriate region class if no border is detected. This process is iterative for each pixel within the boundary of the region. If adjacent regions are found, a region fusion algorithm is used in which weak edges dissolve, and firm edges remain intact, this requires a lot of processing time on a computer to make parallel implementation possible","PeriodicalId":433297,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Signal Processing (Topic)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130621938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
