Local Novelty Detection

COPYRIGHT

This package contains Matlab source code to perform local novelty detection as described in:

KNFST source code

We also included the source code from our paper:
Paul Bodesheim and Alexander Freytag and Erik Rodner and Michael Kemmler and Joachim Denzler:
"Kernel Null Space Methods for Novelty Detection".
Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2013.
since we used KNFST in our local novelty detection experiments. Please check also the README.txt in the archive file code_knfst.zip. A mirror with latest stable versions of KNFST is available at https://github.com/cvjena/knfst The following examples also use methods from code_knfst.zip

USAGE

Use the method learn_local_novelty_detection_model to initialize the model structure and the method test_local_novelty_detection_model to compute novelty scores.

Please refer to the documentations in those methods for explanations of input and output variables.

Assuming you have already computed a kernel matrix "K", your label vector is called "labels", and kernel values between n training samples and m test samples stored in a matrix "Ks", then you can use the following (do not forget to unzip code_knfst.zip before!):

methods{1}       = 'oneClassNovelty_knfst';  
methods{2}       = 'multiClassNovelty_knfst';  
method_params{1} = {};  
method_params{2} = {};  
numNeighbors = round(length(labels)/2); % of course you can specify another size of the neighborhood  
model        = learn_local_novelty_detection_model( K, labels, methods, method_params, numNeighbors );  
scores       = test_local_novelty_detection_model( model, Ks );  

DEMO PROGRAM

simply run the following script in Matlab:
