Description

create_ocr_class_svmcreate_ocr_class_svmCreateOcrClassSvmcreate_ocr_class_svmCreateOcrClassSvmCreateOcrClassSvm creates an OCR classifier that uses a support vector machine (SVM). The handle of the OCR classifier is returned in OCRHandleOCRHandleOCRHandleOCRHandleOCRHandleOCRHandle.

For a description on how an SVM works, see create_class_svmcreate_class_svmCreateClassSvmcreate_class_svmCreateClassSvmCreateClassSvm. create_ocr_class_svmcreate_ocr_class_svmCreateOcrClassSvmcreate_ocr_class_svmCreateOcrClassSvmCreateOcrClassSvm creates an SVM for classification with the classification mode given by ModeModeModeModeModemode. The length of the feature vector of the SVM (NumFeatures in create_class_svmcreate_class_svmCreateClassSvmcreate_class_svmCreateClassSvmCreateClassSvm) is determined from the features that are used for the OCR, which are passed in FeaturesFeaturesFeaturesFeaturesFeaturesfeatures. The features are described below. The kernel is parametrized with KernelTypeKernelTypeKernelTypeKernelTypeKernelTypekernelType, KernelParamKernelParamKernelParamKernelParamKernelParamkernelParam and NuNuNuNuNunu like in create_class_svmcreate_class_svmCreateClassSvmcreate_class_svmCreateClassSvmCreateClassSvm. The number of classes of the SVM (NumClasses in create_class_svmcreate_class_svmCreateClassSvmcreate_class_svmCreateClassSvmCreateClassSvm) is determined from the names of the characters to be used in the OCR, which are passed in CharactersCharactersCharactersCharactersCharacterscharacters. As described with create_class_svmcreate_class_svmCreateClassSvmcreate_class_svmCreateClassSvmCreateClassSvm, the parameters PreprocessingPreprocessingPreprocessingPreprocessingPreprocessingpreprocessing and NumComponentsNumComponentsNumComponentsNumComponentsNumComponentsnumComponents can be used to specify a preprocessing of the data (i.e., the feature vectors). For the sake of numerical stability, PreprocessingPreprocessingPreprocessingPreprocessingPreprocessingpreprocessing can typically be set to 'normalization'"normalization""normalization""normalization""normalization""normalization". In order to speed up classification time, 'principal_components'"principal_components""principal_components""principal_components""principal_components""principal_components" or 'canonical_variates'"canonical_variates""canonical_variates""canonical_variates""canonical_variates""canonical_variates" can be used, as the number of input features can be significantly reduced without deterioration of the recognition rate.

The features to be used for the classification are determined by FeaturesFeaturesFeaturesFeaturesFeaturesfeatures. FeaturesFeaturesFeaturesFeaturesFeaturesfeatures can contain a tuple of feature names. Each of these feature names results in one or more features to be calculated for the classifier. Some of the feature names compute gray value features (e.g., 'pixel_invar'"pixel_invar""pixel_invar""pixel_invar""pixel_invar""pixel_invar"). Because a classifier requires a constant number of features (input variables), a character to be classified is transformed to a standard size, which is determined by WidthCharacterWidthCharacterWidthCharacterWidthCharacterWidthCharacterwidthCharacter and HeightCharacterHeightCharacterHeightCharacterHeightCharacterHeightCharacterheightCharacter. The interpolation to be used for the transformation is determined by InterpolationInterpolationInterpolationInterpolationInterpolationinterpolation. It has the same meaning as in affine_trans_imageaffine_trans_imageAffineTransImageaffine_trans_imageAffineTransImageAffineTransImage. The interpolation should be chosen such that no aliasing effects occur in the transformation. For most applications, InterpolationInterpolationInterpolationInterpolationInterpolationinterpolation = 'constant'"constant""constant""constant""constant""constant" should be used. It should be noted that the size of the transformed character is not chosen too large, because the generalization properties of the classifier may become bad for large sizes. In particular, for large sizes small segmentation errors will have a large influence on the computed features if gray value features are used. This happens because segmentation errors will change the smallest enclosing rectangle of the regions, thus the character is zoomed differently than the characters in the training set. In most applications, sizes between 6x8 and 10x14 should be used.

The parameter FeaturesFeaturesFeaturesFeaturesFeaturesfeatures can contain the following feature names for the classification of the characters.

'default'"default""default""default""default""default"

After the classifier has been created, it is trained using trainf_ocr_class_svmtrainf_ocr_class_svmTrainfOcrClassSvmtrainf_ocr_class_svmTrainfOcrClassSvmTrainfOcrClassSvm. After this, the classifier can be saved using write_ocr_class_svmwrite_ocr_class_svmWriteOcrClassSvmwrite_ocr_class_svmWriteOcrClassSvmWriteOcrClassSvm. Alternatively, the classifier can be used immediately after training to classify characters using do_ocr_single_class_svmdo_ocr_single_class_svmDoOcrSingleClassSvmdo_ocr_single_class_svmDoOcrSingleClassSvmDoOcrSingleClassSvm or do_ocr_multi_class_svmdo_ocr_multi_class_svmDoOcrMultiClassSvmdo_ocr_multi_class_svmDoOcrMultiClassSvmDoOcrMultiClassSvm.

A comparison of SVM and the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) (see create_ocr_class_mlpcreate_ocr_class_mlpCreateOcrClassMlpcreate_ocr_class_mlpCreateOcrClassMlpCreateOcrClassMlp) typically shows that SVMs are generally faster at training, especially for huge training sets, and achieve slightly better recognition rates than MLPs. The MLP is faster at classification and should therefore be prefered in time critical applications. Please note that this guideline assumes optimal tuning of the parameters.
