The ongoing development and increased affordability of hyperspectral sensors are increasing their utilization in a variety of applications, such as agricultural monitoring and decision making. Hyperspectral Automated Target Recognition (ATR) systems typically rely heavily on dimensionality reduction methods, and particularly intelligent reduction methods referred to as feature extraction techniques. This dissertation reports on the development, implementation, and testing of new hyperspectral analysis techniques for ATR systems, including their use in agricultural applications where ground truthed observations available for training the ATR system are typically very limited. This dissertation reports the design of effective methods for grouping and down-selecting Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) coefficients and the design of automated Wavelet Packet Decomposition (WPD) filter tree pruning methods for use within the framework of a Multiclassifiers and Decision Fusion (MCDF) ATR system. The efficacy of the DWT MCDF and WPD MCDF systems are compared to existing ATR methods commonly used in hyperspectral remote sensing applications. The newly developed methods’ sensitivity to operating conditions, such as mother wavelet selection, decomposition level, and quantity and quality of available training data are also investigated. The newly developed ATR systems are applied to the problem of hyperspectral remote sensing of agricultural food crop contaminations either by airborne chemical application, specifically Glufosinate herbicide at varying concentrations applied to corn crops, or by biological infestation, specifically soybean rust disease in soybean crops. The DWT MCDF and WPD MCDF methods significantly outperform conventional hyperspectral ATR methods. For example, when detecting and classifying varying levels of soybean rust infestation, stepwise linear discriminant analysis, results in accuracies of approximately 30%-40%, but WPD MCDF methods result in accuracies of approximately 70%-80%.

Three-phase induction motors are key electrical equipments used in industrial applications mainly because presents low cost and large robustness, however, it isn t protected from other fault types such as shorted winding and broken bars. Several acquisition ways, processing and signal analysis are applied to improve its diagnosis. More efficient techniques use current sensors and its signature analysis. In this dissertation, starting of these sensors, it is to make signal analysis through Park s vector that provides a good visualization capability. Faults data acquisition is an arduous task; in this way, it is developed a methodology for data base construction. Park s transformer is applied into stationary reference for machine modeling of the machine s differential equations solution. Faults detection needs a detailed analysis of variables and its influences that becomes the diagnosis more complex. The tasks of pattern recognition allow that systems are automatically generated, based in patterns and data concepts, in the majority cases undetectable for specialists, helping decision tasks. Classifiers algorithms with diverse learning paradigms: k-Neighborhood, Neural Networks, Decision Trees and Na?ves Bayes are used to patterns recognition of machines faults. Multi-classifier systems are used to improve classification errors. It inspected the algorithms homogeneous: Bagging and Boosting and heterogeneous: Vote, Stacking and Stacking C. Results present the effectiveness of constructed model to faults modeling, such as the possibility of using multi-classifiers algorithm on faults classification / A manuten??o de equipamentos ? um dos principais fatores de custo no ambiente industrial, sendo de fundamental import?ncia o desenvolvimento de t?cnicas de preven??o de falhas. Os motores de indu??o trif?sicos s?o os equipamentos el?tricos mais utilizados na industria, pois apresentam um baixo custo e boa robustez, entretanto, n?o est?o imunes a diversos tipos de falhas como curto-circuitos nos enrolamentos e quebra de barras rot?ricas. Diversas formas de aquisi??o, processamento e an?lise dos sinais s?o aplicadas para melhorar seu diagn?stico. As t?cnicas mais eficazes utilizam sensores de corrente e a an?lise de sua assinatura. Neste trabalho, s?o apresentadas an?lises a partir destes sensores, sendo esta informa??o processada atrav?s do vetor de Park, que fornece uma boa capacidade de visualiza??o dos padr?es. Visando a obten??o destes padr?es fora do ambiente de opera??o, foi desenvolvida uma metodologia para a constru??o das bases de dados. Para a modelagem da m?quina tamb?m ? aplicada a transforma??o de Park no referencial estacion?rio para solucionar as equa??es diferenciais da m?quina. Detec??o de falhas requer uma an?lise profunda das vari?veis envolvidas e suas influ?ncias, tornando o diagn?stico complexo. Reconhecimento de padr?es permite que sistemas sejam gerados automaticamente, por encontrar padr?es e conceitos nos dados, muitas vezes n?o detectados por especialistas, auxiliando na tomada de decis?es. Algoritmos de classifica??o com diferentes paradigmas de aprendizado como k-vizinhos mais pr?ximos, Redes Neurais, ?rvores de Decis?o e Na?ve-Bayes s?o utilizados para reconhecer os padr?es dos motores. M?todos de multiclassifica??o s?o empregados para melhorar o desempenho na taxa de erro de classifica??o, s?o examinados os seguintes algoritmos homog?neos: Bagging e Boosting e heterog?neos: Vote, Stacking e Stacking C. Nos resultados ? poss?vel notar a efic?cia do modelo constru?do para simular as falhas assim como dos algoritmos multiclassificadores para a classifica??o de falhas
