Summary of Lecture 02: Feature Extraction - I
Main Ideas:
- The lecture focuses on the concept of Feature Extraction in Pattern Recognition, emphasizing the importance of identifying and comparing patterns based on their features.
- The speaker discusses how to recognize patterns by extracting features such as radius and center from circular arcs.
- The lecture introduces the concepts of supervised and Unsupervised Learning, explaining how feature vectors are utilized in both approaches for Pattern Recognition.
Key Concepts:
- Pattern Recognition Basics:
- Patterns can be simple shapes or signals, and recognizing them involves comparing their features.
- Similarity between patterns is determined by specific features, such as radius and center for circular arcs.
- Feature Extraction:
- Features can be translation invariant (e.g., radius) or rotation invariant (e.g., the position of the center).
- The extraction process often involves basic Geometric Calculations (e.g., finding the center of a circle).
- Error Considerations:
- Measurement errors and segmentation inaccuracies can complicate Feature Extraction.
- A small difference in features can indicate that two patterns are similar.
- Learning Approaches:
- Supervised Learning: Involves training a model with known patterns, extracting features to create representative feature vectors for classification.
- Unsupervised Learning: Does not use known patterns; instead, it involves clustering feature vectors based on similarity without prior knowledge.
- Feature Vector Mapping:
- The relationship between patterns and their feature vectors is not one-to-one; multiple patterns may map to the same feature vector.
- The lecture emphasizes the importance of using multiple features to accurately describe a pattern.
- Types of Features:
- Shape Features: Describe the geometric properties of an object (e.g., whether it is a circle, rectangle, etc.).
- Region Features: Describe properties of the area enclosed by the shape (e.g., intensity values in grayscale images or color features in color images).
- Chain Code for Shape Representation:
- A method to represent the boundary of shapes using directional codes based on pixel connectivity (4-connectivity or 8-connectivity).
- The lecture introduces the concept of differential chain codes to achieve rotation invariance.
Methodology and Instructions:
- To compare circular arcs:
- Calculate the radius and center of each arc using perpendiculars drawn from points on the perimeter.
- Compare the radii and center positions to determine similarity.
- For Feature Extraction:
- Identify relevant features based on the type of pattern (e.g., radius for circles, parameters for ellipses).
- Use geometric methods to compute these features.
- For Supervised Learning:
- Gather a dataset of known patterns.
- Extract features from each pattern to create a feature vector.
- Train a classifier using these vectors.
- For Unsupervised Learning:
- Collect a mixture of patterns without labels.
- Extract features and cluster them based on similarity.
- Chain Code representation:
- Start from a boundary point and traverse the shape in a specified direction (clockwise or counterclockwise).
- Use connectivity rules to assign directional codes for each movement.
