Facial hyperspectral image analysis has become a popular topic since it provides additional spectral information on subjects unlike the 2D face imagery which only has spatial information, hence it has an opportunity to improve face recognition accuracy. Three new methods for feature extraction for facial hyperspectral image classification are proposed. The methods employ a three-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (3D-DWT) to extract features from facial hyperspectral images. One of the advantages of 3D-DWT for feature extraction in hyperspectral images is that the horizontal, vertical and spectral information are processed in parallel. The most important characteristic of 3D-DWT is decomposing hyperspectral images into a set of spatio-spectral frequency subbands. The study proposes three methods using 3D-DWT for feature extraction: 3D-subband energy, 3D-subband overlapping cube and 3D-global energy. The k-NN and collaborative representation-based classifier (CRC) are used to process extracted feature vector datasets, where classification accuracies are evaluated by four test scenarios. The results under different test scenarios revealed that accuracy of proposed 3D-DWT methods is superior to alternative methods using spatio-spectral classification.
In bioinformatics studies, many modeling tasks are characterized by high dimensionality, leading to the widespread use of feature selection techniques to reduce dimensionality. There are a multitude of feature selection techniques that have been proposed in the literature, each relying on a single measurement method to select candidate features. This has an impact on the classification performance. To address this issue, we propose a majority voting method that uses five different feature ranking techniques: entropy score, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, Spearman correlation coefficient, Kendall correlation coefficient, and t-test. By using a majority voting approach, only the features that appear in all five ranking methods are selected. This selection process has three key advantages over traditional techniques. Firstly, it is independent of any particular feature ranking method. Secondly, the feature space dimension is significantly reduced compared to other ranking methods. Finally, the performance is improved as the most discriminatory and informative features are selected via the majority voting process. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated using an SVM, and the results were assessed using accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC on various biomedical datasets. The results demonstrate the superior effectiveness of the proposed method compared to state-of-the-art methods in the literature.
