# Snow entity learning with Random Forest¶

This example follow the example 'nbex_skl_snow' that use Support Vector Machine. This previous example create a snow model on one hypercube with SVM and try to classify the feature snow on 6 others hypercubes. This time, the setup is different and more in accordance with the way machine learning is use. First, we concatenate all the seven hypercubes to make a big data. We keep 25% of the data to learn the snow model and 75% to test it (but, in fact, we test on all the data). We use Random Forest and there is no hyperparameters tuning. For the caracteristics of the hyperspectral images used, I refer you to the previous example 'nbex_skl_snow'.

First we load the seven hyperspectral images. All images are scaled. 'img1','img2' and 'imgc7' have snow, others not.

In [4]:
home_path = os.environ['HOME']
source_path = osp.join(home_path, 'data/CZ_hsdb')

# These images have snow
snow_samples = ['img1','img2','imgc7']
# These have no snow
nosnow_samples = ['imga1','imgb1','imgb6','imga7']



Note that the word 'feature' is use with the earth science meaning and not with the machine learning meaning. Feature in the machine learning meaning is the band value that define a spectrum 'the sample'.

We build the masks in two steps.

First we create a ROI for the three images containing the feature snow.

Second we expand the ROI by a supervised clustering and this way catch the snow cover.

To add a degree of complexity, a second feature is added. This is the wall of wood that we find in the imgc7 image.

In [5]:
# The 'snow' images ROIs:
ROI_img1 = [['Snow',{'rec':(41,79,49,100)}]]
ROI_img2 = [['Snow',{'rec':(83,50,100,79)},{'rec':(107,151,111,164)}]]
ROI_imgc7 = [['Snow',{'rec':(104,4,126,34)},{'rec':(111,79,124,101)}],
['Wall',{'rec':(59,103,91,162)},
{'poly':((55,6),(56,99),(66,94),(71,31),(99,32),(98,5))}]]

# We build and display ROIs.
roi1 = build_ROI(M_img1, ROI_img1, 'img1')
roi2 = build_ROI(M_img2, ROI_img2, 'img2')
roi3 = build_ROI(M_imgc7, ROI_imgc7, 'imgc7')


Next we build the snow cmaps.

In [6]:
cmap_1 = build_img1_cmap(M_img1, roi1, 'cmap img1')
cmap_2 = build_img2_cmap(M_img2, roi2, 'cmap img2')
cmap_c7 = build_imgc7_cmap(M_imgc7, roi3, 'cmap imgc7')
# The next declared class map is a background cmap, we use it for no snow images.
bkg_cmap = np.zeros((M_img1.shape[0],M_img1.shape[1]))

imgc7 class map cleaned:


With the seven hypercubes we create a train and a test data.

In [7]:
# Concatenate the seven hypercube and the corresponding cmaps.
X,y = skl.shape_to_XY([M_img1,M_img2,M_imgc7,              # snow hypercubes
M_imga1,M_imgb1,M_imgb6,M_imga7],      # no snow hypercubes
[cmap_1,cmap_2,cmap_c7,                # snow cmaps
bkg_cmap,bkg_cmap,bkg_cmap,bkg_cmap])  # no snow cmaps

# We take 25% for training
seed = 5
train_size = 0.25
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, train_size=train_size, random_state=seed)


The training data is fit with a Random Forest Classifier There is no cross validation made. The training use default parameters for most part, except for n_estimators set to 25.

In [8]:
model = fit_model(X_train, y_train)
# A feature importances dump follow.
model.display_feature_importances(suffix='snow - no snow')
model.display_feature_importances(sort=True, suffix='sorted')


We run the model on all the data for a visual inspection.
