Sumario:Numerous novel improved support vector machine (SVM) methods are used in leak detection of water pipelines at present. The least square twin K-class support vector machine (LST-KSVC) is a novel simple and fast multi-classification method. However, LST-KSVC has a non-negligible drawback that it assigns the same classification weights to leak samples, including outliers that affect classification, these outliers are often situated away from the main leak samples. To overcome this shortcoming, the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) version of the LST-KSVC is proposed in this paper, called the MLT-KSVC algorithm. In this classification approach, classification weights of leak samples are calculated based on the MaxEnt model. Different sample points are assigned different weights: large weights are assigned to primary leak samples and outliers are assigned small weights, hence the outliers can be ignored in the classification process. Leak recognition experiments prove that the proposed MLT-KSVC algorithm can reduce the impact of outliers on the classification process and avoid the misclassification color block drawback in linear LST-KSVC. MLT-KSVC is more accurate compared with LST-KSVC, TwinSVC, TwinKSVC, and classic Multi-SVM.
