static Ptr<EM> cv::ml::EM::create ( )
static

Creates empty EM model. The model should be trained then using StatModel::train(traindata, flags) method. Alternatively, you can use one of the EM::train* methods or load it from file using Algorithm::load<EM>(filename).

virtual int cv::ml::EM::getClustersNumber ( ) const
pure virtual

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.

See also
setClustersNumber
virtual int cv::ml::EM::getCovarianceMatrixType ( ) const
pure virtual

Constraint on covariance matrices which defines type of matrices. See EM::Types.

See also
setCovarianceMatrixType
virtual void cv::ml::EM::getCovs ( std::vector< Mat > &  covs) const
pure virtual

Returns covariation matrices.

Returns vector of covariation matrices. Number of matrices is the number of gaussian mixtures, each matrix is a square floating-point matrix NxN, where N is the space dimensionality.

virtual Mat cv::ml::EM::getMeans ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the cluster centers (means of the Gaussian mixture)

Returns matrix with the number of rows equal to the number of mixtures and number of columns equal to the space dimensionality.

virtual TermCriteria cv::ml::EM::getTermCriteria ( ) const
pure virtual

The termination criteria of the EM algorithm. The EM algorithm can be terminated by the number of iterations termCrit.maxCount (number of M-steps) or when relative change of likelihood logarithm is less than termCrit.epsilon. Default maximum number of iterations is EM::DEFAULT_MAX_ITERS=100.

setTermCriteria
virtual Mat cv::ml::EM::getWeights ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns weights of the mixtures.

Returns vector with the number of elements equal to the number of mixtures.

virtual Vec2d cv::ml::EM::predict2 ( InputArray  sample,
OutputArray  probs 
) const
pure virtual

Returns a likelihood logarithm value and an index of the most probable mixture component for the given sample.

Parameters
sampleA sample for classification. It should be a one-channel matrix of \(1 \times dims\) or \(dims \times 1\) size.
probsOptional output matrix that contains posterior probabilities of each component given the sample. It has \(1 \times nclusters\) size and CV_64FC1 type.

The method returns a two-element double vector. Zero element is a likelihood logarithm value for the sample. First element is an index of the most probable mixture component for the given sample.

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.
virtual bool cv::ml::EM::trainEM ( InputArray  samples,
OutputArray  logLikelihoods = noArray(),
OutputArray  labels = noArray(),
OutputArray  probs = noArray() 
)
pure virtual

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,
