add_samples_image_class_gmm
— Add training samples from an image to the training data of a
Gaussian Mixture Model.
Signature
add_samples_image_class_gmm(Image, ClassRegions : : GMMHandle, Randomize : )
Description
add_samples_image_class_gmm
adds training samples from the
Image
to the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) given by
GMMHandle
. add_samples_image_class_gmm
is used to
store the training samples before a classifier to be used for the
pixel classification of multichannel images with
classify_image_class_gmm
is trained.
add_samples_image_class_gmm
works analogously to
add_sample_class_gmm
. The Image
must have a number
of channels equal to NumDim
, as specified with
create_class_gmm
. The training regions for the
NumClasses
pixel classes are passed in
ClassRegions
. Hence, ClassRegions
must be a tuple
containing NumClasses
regions. The order of the regions
in ClassRegions
determines the class of the pixels. If
there are no samples for a particular class in Image
an
empty region must be passed at the position of the class in
ClassRegions
. With this mechanism it is possible to use
multiple images to add training samples for all relevant classes to
the GMM by calling add_samples_image_class_gmm
multiple
times with the different images and suitably chosen regions. The
regions in ClassRegions
should contain representative
training samples for the respective classes. Hence, they need not
cover the entire image. The regions in ClassRegions
should
not overlap each other, because this would lead to the fact that in
the training data the samples from the overlapping areas would be
assigned to multiple classes, which may lead to a lower
classification performance. Image data of integer type can be
particularly badly suited for modeling with a
GMM. Randomize
can be used to overcome this problem, as
explained in add_sample_class_gmm
.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
This operator modifies the state of the following input parameter:
During execution of this operator, access to the value of this parameter must be synchronized if it is used across multiple threads.
Parameters
Image
(input_object) (multichannel-)image →
object (byte / cyclic / direction / int1 / int2 / uint2 / int4 / real)
Training image.
ClassRegions
(input_object) region-array →
object
Regions of the classes to be trained.
GMMHandle
(input_control, state is modified) class_gmm →
(handle)
GMM handle.
Randomize
(input_control) real →
(real)
Standard deviation of the Gaussian noise added to the training data.
Default: 0.0
Suggested values: 0.0, 1.5, 2.0
Restriction:
Randomize >= 0.0
Result
If the parameters are valid, the operator
add_samples_image_class_gmm
returns the value 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
. If
necessary an exception is raised.
