Description

classify_class_gmmclassify_class_gmmClassifyClassGmmClassifyClassGmmClassifyClassGmm computes the best NumNumNumNumnum classes of the feature vector FeaturesFeaturesFeaturesFeaturesfeatures with the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) GMMHandleGMMHandleGMMHandleGMMHandleGMMHandle and returns the classes in ClassIDClassIDClassIDClassIDclassID and the corresponding probabilities of the classes in ClassProbClassProbClassProbClassProbclassProb. Before calling classify_class_gmmclassify_class_gmmClassifyClassGmmClassifyClassGmmClassifyClassGmm, the GMM must be trained with train_class_gmmtrain_class_gmmTrainClassGmmTrainClassGmmTrainClassGmm.

classify_class_gmmclassify_class_gmmClassifyClassGmmClassifyClassGmmClassifyClassGmm corresponds to a call to evaluate_class_gmmevaluate_class_gmmEvaluateClassGmmEvaluateClassGmmEvaluateClassGmm and an additional step that extracts the best NumNumNumNumnum classes. As described with evaluate_class_gmmevaluate_class_gmmEvaluateClassGmmEvaluateClassGmmEvaluateClassGmm, the output values of the GMM can be interpreted as probabilities of the occurrence of the respective classes. However, here the posterior probability ClassProbClassProbClassProbClassProbclassProb is further normalized as ClassProbClassProbClassProbClassProbclassProb = p(i|x)/p(x) , where p(i|x) and p(x) are specified with evaluate_class_gmmevaluate_class_gmmEvaluateClassGmmEvaluateClassGmmEvaluateClassGmm. In most cases it should be sufficient to use NumNumNumNumnum = 1 in order to decide whether the probability of the best class is high enough. In some applications it may be interesting to also take the second best class into account (NumNumNumNumnum = 2), particularly if it can be expected that the classes show a significant degree of overlap.
