Name

add_samples_image_class_mlpT_add_samples_image_class_mlpAddSamplesImageClassMlpAddSamplesImageClassMlp — Add training samples from an image to the training data of a multilayer perceptron.

Signature

add_samples_image_class_mlp(Image, ClassRegions : : MLPHandle : )

add_samples_image_class_mlpadd_samples_image_class_mlpAddSamplesImageClassMlpAddSamplesImageClassMlpAddSamplesImageClassMlp adds training samples from the image ImageImageImageImageimage to the multilayer perceptron (MLP) given by MLPHandleMLPHandleMLPHandleMLPHandleMLPHandle. add_samples_image_class_mlpadd_samples_image_class_mlpAddSamplesImageClassMlpAddSamplesImageClassMlpAddSamplesImageClassMlp is used to store the training samples before a classifier to be used for the pixel classification of multichannel images with classify_image_class_mlpclassify_image_class_mlpClassifyImageClassMlpClassifyImageClassMlpClassifyImageClassMlp is trained. add_samples_image_class_mlpadd_samples_image_class_mlpAddSamplesImageClassMlpAddSamplesImageClassMlpAddSamplesImageClassMlp works analogously to add_sample_class_mlpadd_sample_class_mlpAddSampleClassMlpAddSampleClassMlpAddSampleClassMlp. Because here the MLP is always used for classification, OutputFunction = 'softmax'"softmax""softmax""softmax""softmax" must be specified when the MLP is created with create_class_mlpcreate_class_mlpCreateClassMlpCreateClassMlpCreateClassMlp. The image ImageImageImageImageimage must have a number of channels equal to NumInput, as specified with create_class_mlpcreate_class_mlpCreateClassMlpCreateClassMlpCreateClassMlp. The training regions for the NumOutput pixel classes are passed in ClassRegionsClassRegionsClassRegionsClassRegionsclassRegions. Hence, ClassRegionsClassRegionsClassRegionsClassRegionsclassRegions must be a tuple containing NumOutput regions. The order of the regions in ClassRegionsClassRegionsClassRegionsClassRegionsclassRegions determines the class of the pixels. If there are no samples for a particular class in ImageImageImageImageimage an empty region must be passed at the position of the class in ClassRegionsClassRegionsClassRegionsClassRegionsclassRegions. With this mechanism it is possible to use multiple images to add training samples for all relevant classes to the MLP by calling add_samples_image_class_mlpadd_samples_image_class_mlpAddSamplesImageClassMlpAddSamplesImageClassMlpAddSamplesImageClassMlp multiple times with the different images and suitably chosen regions. The regions in ClassRegionsClassRegionsClassRegionsClassRegionsclassRegions should contain representative training samples for the respective classes. Hence, they need not cover the entire image. The regions in ClassRegionsClassRegionsClassRegionsClassRegionsclassRegions should not overlap each other, because this would lead to the fact that in the training data the samples from the overlapping areas would be assigned to multiple classes, which may lead to slower convergence of the training and a lower classification performance.

Execution Information

Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
Processed without parallelization.

This operator modifies the state of the following input parameter:

MLPHandleMLPHandleMLPHandleMLPHandleMLPHandle

The value of this parameter may not be shared across multiple threads without external synchronization.

Parameters

ImageImageImageImageimage (input_object) (multichannel-)image → object (byte / cyclic / direction / int1 / int2 / uint2 / int4 / real)

Training image.

ClassRegionsClassRegionsClassRegionsClassRegionsclassRegions (input_object) region-array → object

Regions of the classes to be trained.

MLPHandleMLPHandleMLPHandleMLPHandleMLPHandle (input_control, state is modified) class_mlp → (handle)

MLP handle.

Result

If the parameters are valid, the operator add_samples_image_class_mlpadd_samples_image_class_mlpAddSamplesImageClassMlpAddSamplesImageClassMlpAddSamplesImageClassMlp returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE). If necessary an exception is raised.
