train_texture_inspection_model — Train a texture inspection model.
train_texture_inspection_model( : : TextureInspectionModel : )
train_texture_inspection_model trains a texture inspection model
with all training images which were added by
add_texture_inspection_model_image.
The complete texture inspection process works with image pyramids. The depth of the pyramid is determined by the parameter 'num_levels' (or 'levels' if the levels have been set explicitly). In the first step of the training, texture features are extracted and added to the set of training samples for each pyramid level. For each pyramid level a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) classifier is determined with all training samples of the corresponding pyramid level. In a third step, the training samples are used to determine a novelty threshold for each pyramid level. In the following, the three training steps are explained in detail:
Feature extraction extracts a feature for each pixel within
the training images. The texture features are calculated according to the
settings of the 'patch_*' parameters, which can be manipulated
with set_texture_inspection_model_param. Each texture feature
is added to the training data of the GMM.
During the training of the GMMs, the optimal 'gmm_*'
parameters are calculated from the training data. The dimension of the
single GMMs is determined by the size of the feature patches. Please refer to
set_texture_inspection_model_param for details. For large patch
sizes, it can be extremely difficult to obtain a good approximation of the
optimal GMM parameters. Also, the run time and memory usage rises
significantly. Therefore we recommend to alter the default patch size with
care.
More information on GMM classifiers can be found in the description of the
operator create_class_gmm.
The calculation of the novelty thresholds is required
to be able to distinguish between defective and non-defective
texture. First, the novelty score of each training sample is
determined with the GMMs determined in step 2. Then, based on
the resulting novelty scores, novelty thresholds are determined for each
pyramid level. The automatic determination of the novelty thresholds
can be influenced with the parameter 'sensitivity' that can
be set with set_texture_inspection_model_param.
After the training was successful it is possible to classify images
with apply_texture_inspection_model. Each pixel is
assigned a novelty score that is compared to the novelty
threshold, which was determined within the third step of the training. For
optimal results it is possible to adapt the novelty threshold of the single
pyramid levels with set_texture_inspection_model_param.
In general, the manipulation of all parameters, with the exception of
'gen_result_handle' and 'sensitivity', requires a retraining
of the texture inspection model. Depending on which part of the training is
affected by the corresponding parameter, either the whole training or only
single steps have to be recalculated. This can lead to strong variations in
the time required for retraining a texture inspection model. A precise
description which parameters influence which parts of the algorithm are
illustrated in set_texture_inspection_model_param.
For an explanation of the concept of the texture inspection see the introduction of chapter Inspection / Texture Inspection.
This operator modifies the state of the following input parameter:
During execution of this operator, access to the value of this parameter must be synchronized if it is used across multiple threads.

The operator train_texture_inspection_model returns the value TRUE
if the given parameters are valid and within acceptable range.
Otherwise, an exception will be raised.
