What are the features extracted from the images when using linear regression?

Feature requests

Hi, I am doing a thesis on object detection and I used the linear regression as learning block. One of my panelists required me to provide the full feature extraction step-by-step process. Can you guys help me out what features are extracted? Is it color, edge, etc… Thank you!

Hello @niwlyer,

Here you can have a look at how our pre-processing blocks work: https://github.com/edgeimpulse/processing-blocks

For the image pre-processing block, we are only using the number of channels and the size of the image as variables.
If you want to go further in the image pre-processing, I worte an article some time ago on how to add your own custom DSP block that works with images: https://www.edgeimpulse.com/blog/utilize-custom-processing-blocks-in-your-image-ml-pipelines

Note that it won’t work with our Object Detection pre-trained models but you can use this with a custom DL model.

Louis

Hi Louis,

I am new to this topic. When linear regression is applied, what feature does it take from the image? Color, shape, etc, or the whole image?

Thank you for the response! :smile:

Hi @niwlyer,

Ii will take all pixels of the image, either as RGB or Grayscale depending on your Image block configuration.

Hi @aurel ,

Appreciate the response. Do you have a post/article about the pre-processing steps for the Linear Regression (Keras) on the learning blocks. Learning the specific steps will help alot.

Thank you!

Hi @niwlyer,

You can use any processing block with the linear regression. You can read more about our official blocks here, you can also create your own custom blocks following the documentation.
