K nearest neighbor algorithm is one of the most frequently used techniques in data mining for its integrity and performance. Though the KNN algorithm is highly effective in many cases, it has some essential deficiencies, which affects the classification accuracy of the algorithm. First, the effectiveness of the algorithm is affected by redundant and irrelevant features. Furthermore, this algori...

Manual fingerprint classification algorithms are very time consuming, and usually not accurate. Fast and accurate fingerprint classification is essential to each AFIS (Automatic Fingerprint Identification System). This paper investigates a fingerprint classification algorithm that reduces the complexity and costs associated with the fingerprint identification procedure. A new structural algorit...

due to variation in economic value of different varieties of rice, reports indicating the possibility of mixing different varieties on the market. applying image processing and neural networks techniques to classify rice varieties is a method which can increase the accuracy of the classification process in real applications. in this study, several morphological features of rice seeds’ images we...

sleep stages classification is one of the most important methods for diagnosis in psychiatry and neurology. in this paper, a combination of three kinds of classifiers are proposed which classify the eeg signal into five sleep stages including awake, n-rem (non-rapid eye movement) stage 1, n-rem stage 2, n-rem stage 3 and 4 (also called slow wave sleep), and rem. twenty-five all night recordings...

Land use is being considered as an element in determining land change studies, environmental planning and natural resource applications. The Earth’s surface Study by remote sensing has many benefits such as, continuous acquisition of data, broad regional coverage, cost effective data, map accurate data, and large archives of historical data. To study land use / cover, remote sensing as an effic...
