General approach to developing an image classification algorithm for Dilbert cartoons

So i think you are on the right track w/r/t your step 1 (apply some algorithm to the image, which converts it into a set of features). This project is more challenging that most ML problems because here you will actually have to create your training data set from the raw data (the individual frames … Read more

Are there any fast alternatives to SURF and SIFT for scale-invariant feature extraction?

Although you already choose BRISK, you might find FREAK interesting. Author claims to have better results than BRISK and ORB. I should also add that ORB is scale-invariant but has some problems in that area. So I would still recommend it for someone to try it. The FREAK source code is compatible with OpenCV (how … Read more

How to check if a CSS property or value is supported by a browser?

There is the new API CSS.supports. Supported in most browsers except IE. console.log( // CSS.supports(property, value) 1, CSS.supports(“text-decoration-style”, “blink”), 2, CSS.supports(“display”, “flex”), 3, CSS.supports(‘–foo’, ‘red’), 4, CSS.supports(‘(–foo: red)’), // CSS.supports(DOMstring) 5, CSS.supports(“( transform-origin: 5% 5% )”), 6, CSS.supports(“( transform-style: preserve ) or ( -moz-transform-style: preserve ) or ” + “( -o-transform-style: preserve ) or ( … Read more

How to determine if an Android device has a touchscreen?

You should research the existing devices and read the Android Compatibility Definition Document (CDD) and decide for yourself. I have spent some considerable time trying to figure out this problem for myself. The posters above are correct that Android already powers some non-touch devices and will power Google TV in the near future, but as … Read more

Extracting HoG Features using OpenCV

You can use hog class in opencv as follows HOGDescriptor hog; vector<float> ders; vector<Point> locs; This function computes the hog features for you hog.compute(grayImg, ders, Size(32, 32), Size(0, 0), locs); The HOG features computed for grayImg are stored in ders vector to make it into a matrix, which can be used later for training. Mat … Read more

What is a feature descriptor in image processing (algorithm or description)?

A feature detector is an algorithm which takes an image and outputs locations (i.e. pixel coordinates) of significant areas in your image. An example of this is a corner detector, which outputs the locations of corners in your image but does not tell you any other information about the features detected. A feature descriptor is … Read more

What is the difference between feature detection and descriptor extraction?

Feature detection In computer vision and image processing the concept of feature detection refers to methods that aim at computing abstractions of image information and making local decisions at every image point whether there is an image feature of a given type at that point or not. The resulting features will be subsets of the … Read more
