man, I've literally been spending hours trying to figure out how to do this, and you easily and simply knocked this out for me in no time. Not only that, it was done in a way that makes sense and was easy to follow. I've never used cv2 before and had to install everything, but this was incredibly useful. Liked and favorited. Keep up the good work
Damn, this saved my research project. Thank you so much for the simple explanation, most k-means videos on youtube don't use images directly and that was killing me until I found your video. Thanks so much for the awesome content, you've helped me a lot today!!
Sir, how to similarity animal photographs segregation move to folderwise. Example Tiger, elephant, deer, buffalo, wild pig, etc. Can you possible. please help
Third arguement is criteria in the syntax, why is it 'None' here, and criteria is only 4th even in sample code given in official website (openCV). What does None specify?
Hi. How to use 5 dimensions feature space with kmeans. For instance r,g,b,x,y. To add more features is simple - just add one column per feature to array. But how to reconstruct image back after segmentation?
If you mean displaying image pixels in color then just use any colormap that you like. Or you can use the process from video 23 where I assigned specific pixel value to each segmented region. If you are referring to plotting clusters where data points are different colors, you can watch my video from my work account: th-cam.com/video/H_L7V_BH9pc/w-d-xo.html
Could I get size information directly from segmented image gotten by k means clustering method? I think it is difficult to get clear contour line in case of noisy grain (mixed labels in grain)
I have two labelled classes, I need for each class to be segmented into 2 subclasses using the KMeans. so class 1 would be class1_1 and class1_2 and so on. Thanks in advance.
Since you're working on RGB image, you reshaped it to (-1, 3) because the 3 represents r, b, g channels. But for grey scale images how should I reshape it? Can you please answer this?
Passing -1 for reshaping numpy array means that we do not know what that number is going to be. In this case I want to collapse my data into some (unknown, 3), so I passed -1. In your case, if you only have 1 channel and want the output to be (unknown, 1) then pass (-1,1). If you just want to convert to single vector, then just flatten - np.flatten(array).
Sure, you can use this approach to generate data for deep learning but if k-means can solve your segmentation problem why would you need deep learning? I recommend using the simplest approach that solves the problem.
Depends on how images look, if you can manually classify them then there is a good chance they can be automatically classified using image processing. We do this all the time in many fields, for example classifying the type of nuclei in biology or classification of mineralogy based on texture in geology. Deep learning may be required.
Can we perform classification on segmented images? I mean, can we feed the segmented images to the svm classifier? If yes, then from the segmented images, how will the svm or any classifier, classify the images?
Yes you can use segmented images as input to another machine learning pipeline. If your classification is based on number of pixels corresponding to a given class then it makes sense. But if you want to classify images as cats/dogs or nucleus/mitochondria or other application, then it makes sense to work directly with raw images. This is because original raw images will have many features that are important for classification.
@@DigitalSreeni Thank you so much! Can I get your email id, so that I can reach out to you for the doubts I have regarding the project that I'm working on?
Thanks for this interesting video. I was working on some outlier detection problem where DBSCAN gives pretty good result. Any way to do segmentation using DBSCAN clustering in python which could consume reasonable RAM space. The DBSCAN on images explode the memory requirements and hard to implement using sklearn. Any other way ?
I hope you're referring to DBSCAN module from sklearn. DBSCAN is fine for non-image data but can be computationally expensive for images. Any limitations by k-means can be addressed using Gaussian mixture model (GMM). I am not sure how results GMM compares against DBSCAN but computationally it is much faster.
Hi sir. first I want to thank you for making this tremendously helpful videos. I have one question regarding this video's topic. what is the best way to find the optimal K?
just copy it, only a few lines but some of it was from here opencv-python-tutroals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/py_tutorials/py_ml/py_kmeans/py_kmeans_opencv/py_kmeans_opencv.html
Thanks a lot for the video, I have a technical question: what is exactly center[label.flatten()] in line 26 doing? How can this synthax return a 751000 x 3 array? Thanks, it's probably some interpretation of the numpy arrays manipulation that I'm missing.
I was trying to understand this too on my code. I was expecting that center = center of each cluster. But it's actually the "mean value" of color in the original image at that cluster area. So, the values you have at center variable are the colors of the clusters. for example: (255, 255, 255) if its a white cluster. If you have 4 clusters, you gonna have 4 colours on this list. Indexes: 0, 1, 2, 3 The label is a variable that has the same shape of img2. But it only carries the information of which cluster each pixel is linked. So if you have 4 clusters, on a 10x1 (1 channel image), array, it might look like this: label = [0,0,1,3,2,3,3,3,2,1] When he uses center[label.flaten()] he applies the label values as a index to choose the right color of the cluster on each position. And saves the result of this on "res" list.

Note: This will not work with the latest python version. Python 3.6 is ok for me. Thanks!
I just tested it on python3.7 and it works fine. May be you have other issues with your environment?

Kindly use clear images like cat and dog or any thing which can show clear segmentation

Nonetype object means there is no data (image). Please make sure the image is properly read, check the path, etc.

Would actually been have helpful to implement the algorithm by hand, it's not that hard and what's in this video is anyways in the CV docs
can i use Kmeans for a image with only one band ?
Yes, you can use k means for single channel images, example grayscale images.

Well, you can treat the segmented images as masks.

How can I seperate every ncluster(K) as masks?
