  Description

  Bayesian Classifier uses the Bayes Theorem. Bayes Classifier is one of the simple and most effective Classification algorithms. It is a probabilistic classifier, which means it predicts on the basis of the probability of an object.

  Requirement

  1. Python 3
  2. Jupyter Notebook
  3. Numpy
  4. Opencv
  5. PIL

  Installation

  1. Python

     • Visit and download Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/

     • Install and add Python to path

       python3 -V
       

       Install pip

       sudo apt install python3-pip
       

  2. Numpy

     Using pip,

     pip install numpy
     

  3. Opencv

     In command line, change directory to where pip is present

     pip install opencv-python
     

  4. PIL

     In command line or powershell

     python3 -m pip install --upgrade Pillow
     

  5. Jupyter notebook

     Install the classic Jupyter Notebook using:

     pip install notebook
     

     To run the notebook

     jupyter notebook

  Usage

  The source code (jupyter notebook) is present in the 'src' folder. The 4 input band images(R,G,B,I) are band1.jpg, band2.jpg, band3.jpg and band4.jpg. Coordinates of river and non-river for training pixel are in the files 'River' and 'NonRiver'. In the 'Output_Images' folder, the three output images for different Prior Probabilities are included.

  Project.md explains the source code.
