This study presents the implementation of a within-subject classification method, based on the use of Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Support Vector Machines (SVM), for the classification of hemodynamic responses. Using a synthetic dataset tha...
Underwater acoustic target recognition based on ship-radiated noise is difficult owing to the complex marine environment and the interference by multiple targets. As an important technology for target recognition, deep-learning has high accuracy but ...
