PCA Methods

The PCA type exposes the following members.

Methods
  NameDescription
Protected methodAllocGCHandle
Pins the object to be allocated by cvSetData.
(Inherited from DisposableObject.)
Protected methodAllocMemory
Allocates the specified size of memory.
(Inherited from DisposableObject.)
Public methodBackProject(InputArray)
Reconstructs vectors from their PC projections. The methods are inverse operations to PCA::project. They take PC coordinates of projected vectors and reconstruct the original vectors. Unless all the principal components have been retained, the reconstructed vectors are different from the originals. But typically, the difference is small if the number of components is large enough (but still much smaller than the original vector dimensionality). As a result, PCA is used.
Public methodBackProject(InputArray, OutputArray)
Reconstructs vectors from their PC projections. The methods are inverse operations to PCA::project. They take PC coordinates of projected vectors and reconstruct the original vectors. Unless all the principal components have been retained, the reconstructed vectors are different from the originals. But typically, the difference is small if the number of components is large enough (but still much smaller than the original vector dimensionality). As a result, PCA is used.
Public methodCompute
Performs PCA. The operator performs %PCA of the supplied dataset. It is safe to reuse the same PCA structure for multiple datasets. That is, if the structure has been previously used with another dataset, the existing internal data is reclaimed and the new @ref eigenvalues, @ref eigenvectors and @ref mean are allocated and computed. The computed @ref eigenvalues are sorted from the largest to the smallest and the corresponding @ref eigenvectors are stored as eigenvectors rows.
Public methodComputeVar
Performs PCA. The operator performs %PCA of the supplied dataset. It is safe to reuse the same PCA structure for multiple datasets. That is, if the structure has been previously used with another dataset, the existing internal data is reclaimed and the new @ref eigenvalues, @ref eigenvectors and @ref mean are allocated and computed. The computed @ref eigenvalues are sorted from the largest to the smallest and the corresponding @ref eigenvectors are stored as eigenvectors rows.
Public methodDispose
Releases the resources
(Inherited from DisposableObject.)
Protected methodDispose(Boolean)
Releases the resources
(Inherited from DisposableObject.)
Protected methodDisposeManaged
Releases managed resources
(Inherited from DisposableObject.)
Protected methodDisposeUnmanaged
Releases unmanaged resources
(Overrides DisposableCvObjectDisposeUnmanaged.)
Public methodEquals
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodFinalize
Destructor
(Inherited from DisposableObject.)
Public methodGetHashCode
Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodMemberwiseClone
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodNotifyMemoryPressure
Notifies the allocated size of memory.
(Inherited from DisposableObject.)
Public methodProject(InputArray)
Projects vector(s) to the principal component subspace. The methods project one or more vectors to the principal component subspace, where each vector projection is represented by coefficients in the principal component basis. The first form of the method returns the matrix that the second form writes to the result. So the first form can be used as a part of expression while the second form can be more efficient in a processing loop.
Public methodProject(InputArray, OutputArray)
Projects vector(s) to the principal component subspace.
Public methodRead
Load PCA objects. Loads @ref eigenvalues @ref eigenvectors and @ref mean from specified FileNode
Public methodThrowIfDisposed
If this object is disposed, then ObjectDisposedException is thrown.
(Inherited from DisposableObject.)
Public methodToString
Returns a string that represents the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodWrite
Write PCA objects. Writes @ref eigenvalues @ref eigenvectors and @ref mean to specified FileStorage
