gen_canonical_variates_trans (Operator)
gen_canonical_variates_trans — Compute the transformation matrix of a multichannel image using the
canonical variates analysis.
Signature
gen_canonical_variates_trans( : : TrainingSamples, NumComponents : TransMat)
Description
gen_canonical_variates_trans computes the affine transformation
matrix of a multichannel image into an image with a different number
of channels using class-specific canonical variates analysis.
This can be used to reduce the number of channels of an image while
at the same time keeping the classes separable as good as possible.
One or more multichannel images are passed in TrainingSamples.
If multiple images are passed, all must have the same number of channels.
An array of regions is passed in TrainingSamples, describing which
pixel of the input image TrainingSamples belongs to which
class.
The number of objects in TrainingSamples must be equal to the number of
images times the number of classes. If a class contains no pixels of a
particulate image, the corresponding entry in TrainingSamples must be
set to the empty region.
The number of channels in the transformed image are passed in
NumComponents.
Note that NumComponents can be at most one less than the
number of classes.
The affine transformation is returned in TransMat.
This transformation can be used with, for example, linear_trans_color
to transform an image.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
Parameters
TrainingSamples (input_control) dict-array → (handle)
Training samples.
NumComponents (input_control) integer → (integer)
Number of target components.
Default: 3
TransMat (output_control) real-array → (real)
Transformation matrix for transforming the input image.
Result
The operator gen_canonical_variates_trans returns the value 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
if the parameters are correct. Otherwise an exception is raised.
