Band selection aims at selecting the most informative bands to minimise the computational cost and eliminate redundant information. In this paper, we propose a new unsupervised band selection approach that benefits from the current dominant stream of deep learning frameworks. The proposed approach consists of two consecutive phases: unmixing and cluster. In the unmixing phase, we utilised a nonlinear deep autoencoder to extract accurate material spectra. In the cluster phase, we calculate the variance for each obtained endmember to construct a variances vector. Then, classical K-mean was adopted to cluster the variances vectors. Finally, the optimal band subset was obtained by choosing only one spectral band for each cluster. We carried out several experiments on three hyperspectral datasets to test the feasibility and generality of the proposed approach. Experimental results indicate that the proposed approach surpasses several state-of-the-art counterparts by an average of 4% in terms of overall accuracy.","PeriodicalId":46012,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Image and Data Fusion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43736633","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}

However, it is a relative acceleration measurement as the initial position is unavailable. GNSS offers direct displacement measurements, but has the limitation of relatively low frequency of data compared with alternative measurement techniques. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved FDIA utilising the advantages of GNSS to gain accurate information about the initial position. The performance of the proposed approach is first validated through software simulation. Following the validation, a series of shaking table tests using various vibration frequencies (0.5 HZ, 1 HZ, 1.5 HZ, 2 HZ and 2.5 HZ) are performed at the south square of Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture (BUCEA) using one GNSS receiver and one accelerometer. The results show that the proposed approach can effectively avoid the uncertainty of the initial value and thus enhance the direct measurement accuracy of the dynamic displacements of structures, with root mean square error (RMSE) decreasing from 11.4 mm to 6.8 mm.","PeriodicalId":46012,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Image and Data Fusion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48502597","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}

So, in this paper, we address radar object detection and classification problems with a new strategy by using PSNN and a new proposed method HOGE for edges features extraction based on morphological operators and histogram of oriented gradient. Thus, in order to recognise radar object, we extract HOG features of the object region and classify our target with PSNN. The HOGE features vector is used as input of pi-sigma NN.

This research proposed a method to improve the performance of support vector machine (SVM) by perfecting the quality of ‘non-landslide’ samples in the landslide susceptibility evaluation model through fuzzy c-means (FCM) cluster to generate more reliable susceptibility maps. Firstly, three sample selection scenarios for ‘non-landslide’ samples include the following principles: 1) select randomly from low-slope areas (scenario-SS), 2) select randomly from areas with no hazards (scenario-RS), 3) obtain samples from the optimal FCM model (scenario-FCM), and then three sample scenarios are constructed with 10,193 landslide positive samples. Next, we have compared and evaluated the performance of three sample scenarios in the SVM models based on the statistical indicators such as the proportion of disaster points, density of disaster points precision, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and area under the ROC curve (AUC). Finally, The evaluation results show that the ‘non-landslide’ negative samples based on the FCM model are more reasonable. Furthermore, the hybrid method supported by SVM and FCM models exhibits the highest prediction efficiency. Scenario FCM produces an overall accuracy of approximately 89.7% (AUC), followed by scenario-SS (86.7%) and scenario-RS (85.6%).","PeriodicalId":46012,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Image and Data Fusion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43625646","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 paper aims to propose an unsupervised method of multi-source POIs addresses segmentation and standardisation based on the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) neural network and spatial correlation. First, we use GRU neural network to automatically segment Chinese POIs addresses. Then, according to the spatial correlation between address elements, we can remove incorrect address elements, and construct a hierarchy address element map with the semantic relationship. Finally, the addresses of POIs or emergency events will be standardised by fuzzy matching, which uses the multi-source emergency events fusion of the first step. The propsed method is verified to a relatively high accuracy rate of address segment and standardisation, and it can be applied for the emergency event fusion and spatio-temporal analysis from multi-social media sites.","PeriodicalId":46012,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Image and Data Fusion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43398608","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}

The operation of the conventional cartographic system based on GIS in the desktop environment is complicated and requires operators to have strong professional skills, while the network environment provides low-cost, unified geographical data services and easy-to-use operation without using any specific software. In this paper, we propose an online emergency mapping framework, which is a novel idea for rapid mapping and combining multi-source heterogeneous disaster data with cartographer knowledge. Through a disaster scenario model for emergency mapping, the corresponding relationship between scenarios and map groups can be understood. Through disaster data integration, knowledge rules, mapping templates, map symbol engines, and a simple wizard, an emergency response map can be rapidly produced. With the support of the techniques mentioned above, a prototype system is developed to verify the efficiency and validity of the framework. The results demonstrate that a framework that can effectively assist decision makers in displaying the present situation clearly and accurately has high practical value. The study also provides a novel perspective for shortening the mapping cycle in emergencies.","PeriodicalId":46012,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Image and Data Fusion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46577044","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}
