Fusion of Classifiers Using Learning Automata Algorithm

Background and Objectives: Sonar data processing is used to identify and track targets whose echoes are unsteady. So that they aren’t trusty identified in typical tracking methods. Recently, RLA have effectively cured the accuracy of undersea objective detection compared to conventional sonar objective cognition procedures, which have robustness and low accuracy. Methods: In this research, a combination of classifiers has been used to improve the accuracy of sonar data classification in complex problems such as identifying marine targets. These classifiers each form their pattern on the data and store a model. Finally, a weighted vote is performed by the LA algorithm among these classifiers, and the classifier that gets the most votes is the classifier that has had the greatest impact on improving performance parameters.Results: The results of SVM, RF, DT, XGboost, ensemble method, R-EFMD, T-EFMD, R-LFMD, T-LFMD, ANN, CNN, TIFR-DCNN+SA, and joint models have been compared with the proposed model. Considering that the objectives and databases are different, we benchmarked the average detection rate. In this comparison, Precision, Recall, F1_Score, and Accuracy parameters have been considered and investigated in order to show the superior performance of the proposed method with other methods.Conclusion: The results obtained with the analytical parameters of Precision, Recall, F1_Score, and Accuracy compared to the latest similar research have been examined and compared, and the values are 87.71%, 88.53%, 87.8%, and 87.4% respectively for each of These parameters are obtained in the proposed method.
