What mean is SVM predict method return value ?
I use predict method for 2-class classification with SVM labeled +1 or -1. And returnDFVal is false, then I get +1 or -1 accurate. but, returnDFVal is true, then return value is opposite to the label, i.e.
returnDFVal = false -> return = -1
returnDFVal = true -> return = 1.07756
code is below, best regard.
float svmPredict(const char* classifier, const char* image, const char* method)
{
// load query image
cv::Mat img = cv::imread(image, CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE);
// compute descriptor for each keypoint
cv::Mat desc;
desc = getDescriptors(img, method);
// load svm classifier
cv::SVM svm;
svm.load(classifier);
// convert descriptor -> vector
cv::Mat centroids(1, 64, CV_32F);
cv::Mat label(1, 1, CV_32F, cv::Scalar(-1));
cv::kmeans(desc, 1, label, cv::TermCriteria(CV_TERMCRIT_EPS+CV_TERMCRIT_ITER, 10, 1.0), 1, 2, centroids);
// predict
//float predict = svm.predict(centroids, false);
float predict = svm.predict(centroids, true);
return predict;
}
I am wondering how you got the cv::SVM to work. Even the master documentation states that it is still in the old C api using CvSVM? Did you wrap it yourself? Also just checked master branch at github. Latest release still doesn't have C++ wrappers ... I am confused here ...
