I am currently analyzing a set of pictures, that I want to classify. Classification is done by a Artificial Neural Network in a supervised manner. I have a test set that assigns to a each picture its class.
What I want to do now is generate a lot of descriptors and then do a PCA on these and do a statistical analysis how much the descriptor is able to describe the class of the picture.
How can i generate descriptors for these pictures programatically? This could help me in future classification problems too. Let us assume I have enough computation power (100 core cluster) Are there libraries that incorporate a lot of descriptors for images?
