Given a dataset with 68 predefined land marks for each image I want to train an SVM classifier to predict these 68 landmarks in test images. What features do you suggest I should train the classifier with? I used HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradients) but it didn't work.
The output should look like this:

 

Why not ask experts in the field? We're just hobbyists and enthusiasts in electronics, not spies, intelligence agents, or government stooges.

Is this that much technical?! I thought it's a normal question in programmer's corner!

I spent enough years in industry to know the difference between a simple programming question and what you're asking for.

I was just kidding! Don't take it personally! I'm stuck in my computer vision final project and I desperately want help!

Didn't pay attention in class again? Next semester, I suggest less partying and more study.

I suppose from your point of view all the world's experts must be hanging out here. I have not noticed that machine vision was a common interest here, especially as regards machine vision algorithms.

I was under the impression that partying was not allowed at that university? Don't they have guys called the 'morality police' running around making sure you're doing what you are supposed to be doing?

 

I thought uni was all about trigger warnings, safe spaces, social justice & gender studies.

That is only in the USA where getting a job is the least important consideration. @Robert Murphy, check out the location of the TS. In Iran I suppose they have their own set of priorities, but trigger warnings, safe spaces, social justice, and gender studies are probably unheard of. I've never been there so I don't know for sure. Maybe the TS can enlighten us about what concerns Iranian students and their minders in the 'morality police'. On the other hand maybe he is better off not talking about it. I'd hate to think he would be carted off to Zendān Evin just for talking to us.

))) I asked a machine learning question and didn't expect that the conversation would lead me to this point at all!!! Well, in Iran people are just like the people from other parts of the world but the government portrays the country in a very ostentatious and spurious way. The political system is messed up but not like the book '1984'!
I usually don't attend my classes during the semester. I prefer to learn by myself. That's my main reason of success I believe!!!
And about the so-called morality police, I haven't encountered them in my life cause I'm a very quite person and I don't usually engage in political or social movements ... You think I'll be behind bars if I talk about the government?!! Well in some cases it might be true but I think the impression you have about Iran is a bit intense! The regime is the main problem. People are just like the people in other parts of the world...

 

It might of been an idea to go to a few more classes.

This is primarily an electronics forum, programming is a bit of an offshoot.

Don't worry bigfella some realise that the media only portrays countries as suits the agendas of their owners or "those behind" the scenes.

I've asked question here before and got very good answers especially from Mr/Mrs WBahn, I was hoping that someone puts me out of depression!!!
Double-tongued media depict black as white and vice versa! I don't trust 'em at all ...

Yes people are just like people all over. That is why I know young people would rather go out and have fun rather than study.

Maybe your theroy of mot attending classes and studying on your own hasn't worked so well.

I did mention that I had never been there so I might have a distorted view of the situation. That is what happens with closed societies, we really don't know what is going on there. I don't have any real reason to go there except curiosity about one of the major civilizations of antiquity. It still looks like nobody here has sufficient knowledge to advise you on your machine learning problem. I'm glad to hear that you don't think you have anything to worry about. Do you have any sisters?

Yup! I have one little sister! I found some interesting blogs that talked about the features and their implementations. I'm now struggling with the python code. I hope I can ask python related questions if I encounter any problem.

Good Luck. Wish your sister well for me. There might be other forums where you can ask the questions you need answers to. You can come back and ask any questions you want to ask. Answers are not guaranteed however.
