What is Random Forest?

Random Forest is a machine learning algorithm that belongs to the ensemble learning group. It works by constructing a multitude of decision trees during the training phase. The decision of the majority of trees is chosen by the random forest algorithm as the final decision. In the case of regression, it takes the average of the output of different trees, and in the case of classification, it takes the mode of different tree outputs....

How are we going to apply random forest for image classification?

To apply Random Forest for image classification, we first need to extract features from the images. One common approach is to use pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) such as VGG, ResNet, or Inception to extract features. These networks are trained on large datasets like ImageNet and have learned to extract meaningful features from images. Once we have extracted features from the images, we can use these features as input to the Random Forest algorithm. Each image will be represented by a set of features, and the Random Forest algorithm will learn to classify images based on these features. Training a Random Forest for image classification involves splitting the dataset into training and validation sets. The training set is used to train the Random Forest model, while the validation set is used to evaluate its performance. We can tune hyperparameters such as the number of trees in the forest, the maximum depth of the trees, and the number of features to consider at each split using techniques like grid search or random search. After training the Random Forest model, we can use it to classify new images by extracting features from the images and passing them to the model for prediction. The model will output a class label for each image, indicating the predicted class of the image based on the features extracted from it....

Implementation: Random Forest for Image Classification Using OpenCV

The task involves using machine learning techniques, specifically Random Forest, to identify Parkinson’s disease through spiral and wave drawings. Traditional diagnostic methods struggle with the complexity of these drawings, which vary in style, scale, and quality. The goal is to develop a reliable classification system that distinguishes between drawings with and without Parkinson’s disease, contributing to early detection and intervention, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life....
