I'm running a sliding window algorithm that extract features from the patch and feed it into my trained SVM. The sliding window itself is naive brute force sliding (i.e. sliding from 0 to max y, and 0 to max x)
The feature extraction algorithm is pretty fast, it took around 900 ms to slide and extract features from the entire image.
However passing the features into svm.predict( features, true ) slows it down to around 40 secs.
Is there any algorithm that can speed up the whole process ?
