EM

public EM(int nclusters,
          int covMatType,
          TermCriteria termCrit)

The constructor of the class

Parameters:
nclusters - 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.
covMatType - Constraint on covariance matrices which defines type of matrices. Possible values are:
  • EM.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.
  • EM.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.
  • EM.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.
termCrit - 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.

isTrained

public boolean isTrained()

predict

public double[] predict(Mat sample)

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

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.

Parameters:
sample - A sample for classification. It should be a one-channel matrix of 1 x dims or dims x 1 size.

org.opencv.ml.EM.predict

predict

public double[] predict(Mat sample,
                        Mat probs)

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

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.

Parameters:
sample - A sample for classification. It should be a one-channel matrix of 1 x dims or dims x 1 size.
probs - Optional output matrix that contains posterior probabilities of each component given the sample. It has 1 x nclusters size and CV_64FC1 type.

org.opencv.ml.EM.predict

train

public boolean train(Mat samples)

Estimates the Gaussian mixture parameters from a samples set.

Three versions of training method differ in the initialization of Gaussian mixture model parameters and start step:

The methods return true if the Gaussian mixture model was trained successfully, otherwise it returns false.

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: labels_i=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 "CvNormalBayesClassifier".

Parameters:
samples - Samples 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.
