PCBR detector #94

Closed scottclowe closed 9 years ago

scottclowe commented 9 years ago

If possible, we really want to be using this state-of-the-art Principal curvature-based region detector which was used in the BugID paper. Apparently it is the best for the bug type of images. http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~tgd/publications/cvpr2009-evidence-trees.pdf

You can read about the detector here: http://homes.cs.washington.edu/~shapiro/cvpr07final.pdf

There is an implementation as a binary here: http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~tgd/software/pcbrRun.zip

However, to use this we will need to convert images to .pmg format, run the pcbr shell command from Python, and pipe the output file it creates into Python.

And we need to understand what the output actually means... Think we will need to email the author to find that out.

We can send out some emails and ask if there is an easier to use implementation available.

@fmaguire might be the man for the job

Dragos spotted the binary has a non-commercial use licence, so can't use it for the competition.
