About the dimension of the feature vector:
The first set, produced by [10], is made of
18,157 features.
The second set is made of 4406 features and comes from SPAM features
from
- the gradient magnitude image of each channel (R, G, B) ; it gives
2808
features;
- the derivative image (related to the tangent vector) for each channel
(R,
G, B) ; it gives 1598 features.
More details about the
second set:
- The co-occurences matrices are computed with triplets which means
that
co-occurences have (2xT+1)^3 bins.
- 4 matrices are computed (horizontal right, and left, and vertical
right,
and left) and then summed.
- 4 others matrices are computed (horizontal right, and left, and
vertical
right and left) and then summed.
- The two matrices are then concatenated in a feature vector.
- For each T values (except for the derivative image with T=3), the
feature
vectors of each channel are
concatenated.
Thus:
- For the gradient magnitude, T is equal to 2 or 3. This leads to a
dimension = 3x(2x5^3) + 3x(2x7^3) = 3x250 + 3x686 = 2808 features,
- For the derivative image, T is equal to 1, 2 or 3. This leads to a
dimension = 3x(2x3^3) + 3x(2x5^3) + (2x7^3) = 3x54+3x250+686 = 1598
features.
Note that
for T=3, we sum the 3
co-occurrences matrices (from R, G, B channels) instead of concatenate
them
(indeed, otherwise, bins values are too small for T=3).
