Abstract

Choosing a feature vector for maximizing the success of a classifier machine is very effective. In
thispaper, using a combination of different methods to calculate the core function, an unsupervised feature
selection algorithm improvement has been proposed. Feature vector obtained by the proposed algorithm,
will maximizes output accuracy of backpropagation neural network classifier. In this paper we used case
study of standard encoding of images compressed by alternate method and uncompressed images
classifying based on their relative bit stream. Standards for classifications are JPEG and JPEG2000 and
for uncompressed images is TIFF format. Using this feature vector obtained by the proposed algorithm,
classifier accuracy will be about 98%.
