Description

learn_ndim_normlearn_ndim_normLearnNdimNormLearnNdimNormLearnNdimNormlearn_ndim_norm generates classification clusters from the region ForegroundForegroundForegroundForegroundforegroundforeground and the corresponding gray values in the multi-channel image ImageImageImageImageimageimage, which can be used in class_ndim_normclass_ndim_normClassNdimNormClassNdimNormClassNdimNormclass_ndim_norm. BackgroundBackgroundBackgroundBackgroundbackgroundbackground determines a class of pixels not to be found in class_ndim_normclass_ndim_normClassNdimNormClassNdimNormClassNdimNormclass_ndim_norm. This parameter may be empty (empty object).

The parameter DistanceDistanceDistanceDistancedistancedistance determines the maximum distance RadiusRadiusRadiusRadiusradiusradius of the clusters. It describes the minimum distance between two cluster centers. If the parameter DistanceDistanceDistanceDistancedistancedistance is small the (small) hyper-cubes or hyper-spheres can approximate the feature space well. Simultaneously the runtime during classification increases.

The ratio of the number of pixels in a cluster to the total number of pixels (in percent) must be larger than the value of MinNumberPercentMinNumberPercentMinNumberPercentMinNumberPercentminNumberPercentmin_number_percent, otherwise the cluster is not returned. MinNumberPercentMinNumberPercentMinNumberPercentMinNumberPercentminNumberPercentmin_number_percent serves to eliminate outliers in the training set. If it is chosen too large many clusters are suppressed.

Two different clustering procedures can be selected: The minimum Euclidean distance algorithm (n-dimensional hyper-spheres) and the maximum algorithm (n-dimensional hyper-cubes) for describing the pixels of the image to classify in the n-dimensional histogram (parameter MetricMetricMetricMetricmetricmetric). The Euclidian metric usually yields the better results, but takes longer to compute. The parameter QualityQualityQualityQualityqualityquality returns the quality of the clustering. It is a measure of overlap between the rejection class and the classificator classes. Values larger than 0 denote the corresponding ratio of overlap. If no rejection region is given, its value is set to 1. The regions in BackgroundBackgroundBackgroundBackgroundbackgroundbackground do not influence on the clustering. They are merely used to check the results that can be expected.

From a user's point of view the key difference between learn_ndim_normlearn_ndim_normLearnNdimNormLearnNdimNormLearnNdimNormlearn_ndim_norm and learn_ndim_boxlearn_ndim_boxLearnNdimBoxLearnNdimBoxLearnNdimBoxlearn_ndim_box is that in the latter case the rejection class affects the classification process itself. Here, a hyper plane is generated that separates ForegroundForegroundForegroundForegroundforegroundforeground and BackgroundBackgroundBackgroundBackgroundbackgroundbackground classes, so that no points in feature space are classified incorrectly. As for learn_ndim_normlearn_ndim_normLearnNdimNormLearnNdimNormLearnNdimNormlearn_ndim_norm, however, an overlap between ForegroundForegroundForegroundForegroundforegroundforeground and BackgroundBackgroundBackgroundBackgroundbackgroundbackground class is allowed. This has its effect on the return value QualityQualityQualityQualityqualityquality. The larger the overlap, the smaller this value.

Parameters

Result

learn_ndim_normlearn_ndim_normLearnNdimNormLearnNdimNormLearnNdimNormlearn_ndim_norm returns TRUE if all parameters are correct. The behavior with respect to the input images can be determined by setting the values of the flags 'no_object_result'"no_object_result""no_object_result""no_object_result""no_object_result""no_object_result" and 'empty_region_result'"empty_region_result""empty_region_result""empty_region_result""empty_region_result""empty_region_result" with set_systemset_systemSetSystemSetSystemSetSystemset_system. If necessary, an exception is raised.
