Novel Approach for Imaging Time Series for the Improvement of Classification Results “Grayscale Fingerprint Features Field Imaging (G3FI)

The remarkable successes achieved by Deep Learning (DL) in computer vision drew the attention of researchers to exploit this capability to apply it for the processing of time series and multivariate data. Thus, researcher began the development of suitable methods to transform time series signals into, images to enable the use of DL techniques to improve the classification of time series data. The most state-of-art techniques are Recurrence Plot (RP), Gramian Angular Field (GAF), or Markov Transition Field (MTF). These techniques transform each time series into RGB image. In this paper, a new transformation technique of time series and multivariate data to images technique is proposed. This technique is called
