ABSTRACT  

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) has achieved a great success in image recognition task by automatically  

learning a hierarchical feature representation from raw data. While the majority of Time-Series Classification  

(TSC) literature is focused on 1D signals, this paper uses Recurrence Plots (RP) to transform time-series into  

2D texture images and then take advantage of the deep CNN classifier. Image representation of time-series  

introduces different feature types that are not available for 1D signals, and therefore TSC can be treated as  

texture image recognition task. CNN model also allows learning different levels of representations together with  

a classifier, jointly and automatically. Therefore, using RP and CNN in a unified framework is expected to boost  

the recognition rate of TSC. Experimental results on the UCR time-series classification archive demonstrate  

competitive accuracy of the proposed approach, compared not only to the existing deep architectures, but also  

to the state-of-the art TSC algorithms.

1. INTRODUCTION  

A time-series is a sequence of data points (measurements) which has a natural temporal ordering. Many important  

real-world pattern recognition tasks deal with time-series analysis. Biomedical signals (e.g. EEG and ECG),  

financial data (e.g. stock market and currency exchange rates), industrial devices (e.g. gas sensors and laser  

excitation), biometrics (e.g. voice, signature and gesture), video processing, music mining, forecasting and  

weather are examples of application domains with time-series nature.1–3 The time-series analysis motivations  

and tasks are mainly divided into curve fitting, function approximation, prediction and forecasting, segmentation,  

classification and clustering categories. In a univariate time-series classification, xn → yn so that n-th series of  

length l: xn = (x1n, x2n, ..xnl ) is associated with a class label yn ∈ {1, 2, .., c}. It is worth noting that although  

this paper is mainly focused on time-series classification problem, the proposed method can be easily adapted to  

the other tasks such as clustering and anomaly detection.
