Features for the Classification of Marine Microfossils
نویسندگان
چکیده
Features for a new application in pattern recognition are presented. The objects to be classiied are coccoliths (marine microfos-sils). Since the objects diier both in their outline and in their internal structure the features developed take into consideration both kinds of variability. The features concerning the internal structure are computed on the grey-value images produced by a scanning electron microscope. These features include measures of both of the angular variation, using the autocorre-lation function, and of the radial variation within the objects by an approximation with Legendre polynomials. The features concerning solely the shape of the objects include the content of long and short straight segments of the outline, and measures based upon ellipse ts and the smallest bounding rectangles to the outlines. In addition, moments are calculated on the objects' binary lled interior.

متن کاملA new ecotoxicity tolerance index of macrobenthos associated with Zoanthus sansibaricus in the littoral zone of Hormuz Island, Persian Gulf, Iran
A general study with the objective to classify ecotoxicity status of macrobenthose associated with dominant toxic zoanthids in Hormuz Island is presented. Hence, a novel model based on hard bottom macrobenthos and the related substrate composition was suggested to be used for testing the accumulated palytoxin (PTX) in macrobenthose exposed to Zoanthus sansibaricus. Direct and rapid assessment i...
متن کاملClassification of encrypted traffic for applications based on statistical features
Traffic classification plays an important role in many aspects of network management such as identifying type of the transferred data, detection of malware applications, applying policies to restrict network accesses and so on. Basic methods in this field were using some obvious traffic features like port number and protocol type to classify the traffic type. However, recent changes in applicat...
متن کاملLarge spinose microfossils in Ediacaran rocks as resting stages of early animals.
Large (>100 microm), profusely ornamented microfossils comprise a distinctive paleontological component of sedimentary rocks deposited during the Ediacaran Period (635-542 million years ago). Smaller spinose fossils in Paleozoic rocks have commonly been interpreted as algal cysts or phycomata, but the Ediacaran populations differ from modern algal analogs in size, shape, ultrastructure, and int...

This article presents a new feature extraction technique based on the temporal tracking of clusters in spectro-temporal features space. In the proposed method, auditory cortical outputs were clustered. The attributes of speech clusters were extracted as secondary features. However, the shape and position of speech clusters change during the time. The clusters temporally tracked and temporal tra...
