Feature extraction
==================
.. currentmodule:: sklearn.feature_extraction
The :mod:`sklearn.feature_extraction` module can be used to extract
features in a format supported by machine learning algorithms from datasets
consisting of formats such as text and image.
Text feature extraction
=======================
.. currentmodule:: sklearn.feature_extraction.text
XXX: a lot to do here
Image feature extraction
========================
.. currentmodule:: sklearn.feature_extraction.image
Patch extraction
----------------
The :func:`extract_patches_2d` function extracts patches from an image stored
as a two-dimensional array, or three-dimensional with color information along
the third axis. For rebuilding an image from all its patches, use
:func:`reconstruct_from_patches_2d`. For example let use generate a 4x4 pixel
picture with 3 color channels (e.g. in RGB format)::
>>> import numpy as np
>>> from sklearn.feature_extraction import image
>>> one_image = np.arange(4 * 4 * 3).reshape((4, 4, 3))
>>> one_image[:, :, 0] # R channel of a fake RGB picture
array([[ 0, 3, 6, 9],
[12, 15, 18, 21],
[24, 27, 30, 33],
[36, 39, 42, 45]])
>>> patches = image.extract_patches_2d(one_image, (2, 2), max_patches=2,
... random_state=0)
>>> patches.shape
(2, 2, 2, 3)
>>> patches[:, :, :, 0]
array([[[ 0, 3],
[12, 15]],
<BLANKLINE>
[[15, 18],
[27, 30]]])
>>> patches = image.extract_patches_2d(one_image, (2, 2))
>>> patches.shape
(9, 2, 2, 3)
>>> patches[4, :, :, 0]
array([[15, 18],
[27, 30]])
Let us now try to reconstruct the original image from the patches by averaging
on overlapping areas::
>>> reconstructed = image.reconstruct_from_patches_2d(patches, (4, 4, 3))
>>> np.testing.assert_array_equal(one_image, reconstructed)
The :class:`PatchExtractor` class works in the same way as
:func:`extract_patches_2d`, only it supports multiple images as input. It is
implemented as an estimator, so it can be used in pipelines. See::
>>> five_images = np.arange(5 * 4 * 4 * 3).reshape(5, 4, 4, 3)
>>> patches = image.PatchExtractor((2, 2)).transform(five_images)
>>> patches.shape
(45, 2, 2, 3)
