Class PHOG

java.lang.Object

de.lmu.ifi.dbs.jfeaturelib.features.AbstractFeatureDescriptor

de.lmu.ifi.dbs.jfeaturelib.features.PHOG

All Implemented Interfaces:

Descriptor, FeatureDescriptor

public class PHOG
extends AbstractFeatureDescriptor

Generates Pyramid Histograms of Oriented Gradients (PHoG). Phogs were first introduced in "Representing shape with a spatial pyramid kernel" (2007). By Anna Bosch, Andrew Zisserman, Xavier Munoz See also http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/publications/2007/Bosch07/ and http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1282340 for further information. In the original paper, canny edge extraction is applied prior to extracting the gradients. As edge detection can be performed in several ways, it is not hard wired. It can be enabled in the properties by setting features.phog.canny to true. The parameters for the canny operator are also taken from the properties file. If another edge detection operator should be used, simple set the canny parameter to false and call run(ij.process.ImageProcessor) with an pre processed image.

Method Detail

setProperties

public void setProperties(LibProperties properties)
                   throws IOException

Description copied from interface: FeatureDescriptor

Injects the properties class that can be used to retrieve several properties.

Specified by:

setProperties in interface FeatureDescriptor

Overrides:

setProperties in class AbstractFeatureDescriptor

Throws:

IOException - if something went wrong

run

public void run(ij.process.ImageProcessor ip)

Description copied from interface: Descriptor

Start processing of this algorithm on the given image processor. Keep in mind that if the imageProcessor is changed, Supports.NoChanges must not be set. This is also the case even if only ImageProcessor.snapshot() is used.

supports

public EnumSet<Descriptor.Supports> supports()

Description copied from interface: Descriptor

Determine the capabilities of this algorithm.

Specified by:

supports in interface Descriptor

Overrides:

supports in class AbstractFeatureDescriptor

Returns:

the set of supported capabilities.

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Description copied from interface: FeatureDescriptor

Returns a short plain Text description about the Descriptor and the semantics of the double array obtained from FeatureDescriptor.getFeatures(). May return null if no description is implemented - even though this should be avoided by any means.

Returns:

semantic description of getFeatures or null.

getGradientSource

public GradientSource getGradientSource()

setGradientSource

public void setGradientSource(GradientSource gradientSource)

getBins

public int getBins()

setBins

public void setBins(int bins)

getRecursions
