◆ Types

Type of covariation matrices.

Enumerator
COV_MAT_SPHERICAL 

A scaled identity matrix \(\mu_k * I\). There is the only parameter \(\mu_k\) to be estimated for each matrix. The option may be used in special cases, when the constraint is relevant, or as a first step in the optimization (for example in case when the data is preprocessed with PCA). The results of such preliminary estimation may be passed again to the optimization procedure, this time with covMatType=EM::COV_MAT_DIAGONAL.

COV_MAT_DIAGONAL 

A diagonal matrix with positive diagonal elements. The number of free parameters is d for each matrix. This is most commonly used option yielding good estimation results.

COV_MAT_GENERIC 

A symmetric positively defined matrix. The number of free parameters in each matrix is about \(d^2/2\). It is not recommended to use this option, unless there is pretty accurate initial estimation of the parameters and/or a huge number of training samples.

COV_MAT_DEFAULT

static
Python:
cv.ml.EM.create() -> retval

pure virtual
Python:
cv.ml.EM.getClustersNumber() -> retval

The number of mixture components in the Gaussian mixture model. Default value of the parameter is EM::DEFAULT_NCLUSTERS=5. Some of EM implementation could determine the optimal number of mixtures within a specified value range, but that is not the case in ML yet.

pure virtual
Python:
cv.ml.EM.trainE(samples, means0[, covs0[, weights0[, logLikelihoods[, labels[, probs]]]]]) -> retval, logLikelihoods, labels, probs

Estimate the Gaussian mixture parameters from a samples set.

This variation starts with Expectation step. You need to provide initial means \(a_k\) of mixture components. Optionally you can pass initial weights \(\pi_k\) and covariance matrices \(S_k\) of mixture components.

Parameters
samplesSamples from which the Gaussian mixture model will be estimated. It should be a one-channel matrix, each row of which is a sample. If the matrix does not have CV_64F type it will be converted to the inner matrix of such type for the further computing.
means0Initial means \(a_k\) of mixture components. It is a one-channel matrix of \(nclusters \times dims\) size. If the matrix does not have CV_64F type it will be converted to the inner matrix of such type for the further computing.
covs0The vector of initial covariance matrices \(S_k\) of mixture components. Each of covariance matrices is a one-channel matrix of \(dims \times dims\) size. If the matrices do not have CV_64F type they will be converted to the inner matrices of such type for the further computing.
weights0Initial weights \(\pi_k\) of mixture components. It should be a one-channel floating-point matrix with \(1 \times nclusters\) or \(nclusters \times 1\) size.
logLikelihoodsThe optional output matrix that contains a likelihood logarithm value for each sample. It has \(nsamples \times 1\) size and CV_64FC1 type.
labelsThe optional output "class label" for each sample: \(\texttt{labels}_i=\texttt{arg max}_k(p_{i,k}), i=1..N\) (indices of the most probable mixture component for each sample). It has \(nsamples \times 1\) size and CV_32SC1 type.
probsThe optional output matrix that contains posterior probabilities of each Gaussian mixture component given the each sample. It has \(nsamples \times nclusters\) size and CV_64FC1 type.

◆ trainEM()

virtual bool cv::ml::EM::trainEM ( InputArray samples,
OutputArray logLikelihoods = noArray(),
OutputArray labels = noArray(),
OutputArray probs = noArray() )
pure virtual
Python:
cv.ml.EM.trainEM(samples[, logLikelihoods[, labels[, probs]]]) -> retval, logLikelihoods, labels, probs

Estimate the Gaussian mixture parameters from a samples set.

This variation starts with Expectation step. Initial values of the model parameters will be estimated by the k-means algorithm.

Unlike many of the ML models, EM is an unsupervised learning algorithm and it does not take responses (class labels or function values) as input. Instead, it computes the Maximum Likelihood Estimate of the Gaussian mixture parameters from an input sample set, stores all the parameters inside the structure: \(p_{i,k}\) in probs, \(a_k\) in means , \(S_k\) in covs[k], \(\pi_k\) in weights , and optionally computes the output "class label" for each sample: \(\texttt{labels}_i=\texttt{arg max}_k(p_{i,k}), i=1..N\) (indices of the most probable mixture component for each sample).

The trained model can be used further for prediction, just like any other classifier. The trained model is similar to the NormalBayesClassifier.

Parameters
samplesSamples from which the Gaussian mixture model will be estimated. It should be a one-channel matrix, each row of which is a sample. If the matrix does not have CV_64F type it will be converted to the inner matrix of such type for the further computing.
logLikelihoodsThe optional output matrix that contains a likelihood logarithm value for each sample. It has \(nsamples \times 1\) size and CV_64FC1 type.
labelsThe optional output "class label" for each sample: \(\texttt{labels}_i=\texttt{arg max}_k(p_{i,k}), i=1..N\) (indices of the most probable mixture component for each sample). It has \(nsamples \times 1\) size and CV_32SC1 type.
probsThe optional output matrix that contains posterior probabilities of each Gaussian mixture component given the each sample. It has \(nsamples \times nclusters\) size and CV_64FC1 type.

InputArray probs0,
OutputArray logLikelihoods = noArray(),
OutputArray labels = noArray(),
OutputArray probs = noArray() )

Python:
