Logistic regression is a simple but popular machine learning algorithm for binary classification that uses the logistic, or sigmoid, function at its core. It also comes implemented in the OpenCV library. In this tutorial, you will learn how to apply OpenCV’s logistic regression algorithm, starting with a custom two-class dataset that we will generate ourselves. […]
The Random Forest algorithm forms part of a family of ensemble machine learning algorithms and is a popular variation of bagged decision trees. It also comes implemented in the OpenCV library. In this tutorial, you will learn how to apply OpenCV’s Random Forest algorithm for image classification, starting with a relatively easier banknote dataset and […]
The Naive Bayes algorithm is a simple but powerful technique for supervised machine learning. Its Gaussian variant is implemented in the OpenCV library. In this tutorial, you will learn how to apply OpenCV’s normal Bayes algorithm, first on a custom two-dimensional dataset and subsequently for segmenting an image. After completing this tutorial, you will […]
In a previous tutorial, we explored using the Support Vector Machine algorithm as one of the most popular supervised machine learning techniques implemented in the OpenCV library. So far, we have seen how to apply Support Vector Machines to a custom dataset that we have generated, consisting of two-dimensional points gathered into two classes. In […]
The Support Vector Machine algorithm is one of the most popular supervised machine learning techniques, and it is implemented in the OpenCV library. This tutorial will introduce the necessary skills to start using Support Vector Machines in OpenCV, using a custom dataset we will generate. In a subsequent tutorial, we will then apply these skills […]
When it comes to machine learning tasks such as classification or regression, approximation techniques play a key role in learning from the data. Many machine learning methods approximate a function or a mapping between the inputs and outputs via a learning algorithm. In this tutorial, you will discover what is approximation and its importance in […]
