Fault diagnosis is a kind of pattern recognition problem and how to extract diagnosis features and improve recognition performance is a difficult problem. Local Linear Embedding (LLE) is an unsupervised non-linear technique that extracts useful features from the high-dimensional data sets with preserved local topology. But the original LLE method is not taking the known class label information of input data into account. A new characteristics similarity-based supervised locally linear embedding (CSSLLE) method for fault diagnosis is proposed in this paper. The CSSLLE method attempts to extract the intrinsic manifold features from high-dimensional fault data by computing Euclidean distance based on characteristics similarity and translate complex mode space into a low-dimensional feature space in which fault classification and diagnosis are carried out easily. The experiments on benchmark data and real fault dataset demonstrate that the proposed approach obtains better performance compared to SLLE, and it is an accurate technique for fault diagnosis.

<abstract> <p>The recognition and analysis of tables on printed document images is a popular research field of the pattern recognition and image processing. Existing table recognition methods usually require high degree of regularity, and the robustness still needs significant improvement. This paper focuses on a robust table recognition system that mainly consists of three parts: Image preprocessing, cell location based on contour mutual exclusion, and recognition of printed Chinese characters based on deep learning network. A table recognition app has been developed based on these proposed algorithms, which can transform the captured images to editable text in real time. The effectiveness of the table recognition app has been verified by testing a dataset of 105 images. The corresponding test results show that it could well identify high-quality tables, and the recognition rate of low-quality tables with distortion and blur reaches 81%, which is considerably higher than those of the existing methods. The work in this paper could give insights into the application of the table recognition and analysis algorithms.</p> </abstract>
