5.2 Results<br />

as we can see <strong>in</strong> figure 5.7. For the two classes case as well as for the six classes case the<br />

best results have been obta<strong>in</strong>ed with a k-value of 2.<br />

In figure 5.4 we see the results obta<strong>in</strong>ed for different choices for s <strong>in</strong> the six classes case<br />

us<strong>in</strong>g pit pattern images and the SVM classifier.<br />

As we can see from figure 5.4(a) the overall classification results seem to get higher with<br />

<strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g values for s until a value of 33. Then the classification rate drops and rema<strong>in</strong>s<br />

constant for higher values for s.<br />

From the figures for the separate classes we aga<strong>in</strong> see, that pit pattern type III-S delivers<br />

very low results only, while all other classes def<strong>in</strong>itely show better classification results.<br />

5.2.3 Best-basis centroids (BBCB)<br />

Just like with the previous method, the best results have been achieved us<strong>in</strong>g the gray scale<br />

versions of the pit pattern images.<br />

As we can see <strong>in</strong> table 5.3, <strong>in</strong> the two classes case the best result obta<strong>in</strong>ed for the pit pattern<br />

images was 72% us<strong>in</strong>g the SVM classifier. The best result achieved with the k-NN classifier<br />

was only <strong>in</strong>significantly lower with a percentage of correctly classified images of 69%.<br />

In contrast to the BB method, both classifiers show approximately the same classification<br />

results for each separate class.<br />

In the six classes case aga<strong>in</strong> the SVM classifier outperforms the k-NN classifier with a<br />

classification result of 56% compared to 45% and the misclassification rates for pit pattern<br />

types III-S and V aga<strong>in</strong> are extremely high, just like <strong>in</strong> the previous method.<br />

The tables 5.10 and 5.11 show the result distribution matrices for the two classes case<br />

and the six classes case, respectively, us<strong>in</strong>g pit pattern images. For the two classes case the<br />

classification results are very similar to the BB method and also for the six classes case we<br />

aga<strong>in</strong> observe a poor classification performance for pit pattern types III-S and V, just like <strong>in</strong><br />

the BB method.<br />

The BBCB method has also been tested with the Outex images, which resulted <strong>in</strong> excellent<br />

classification results, as can been seen <strong>in</strong> the tables 5.4 and 5.5. In the two classes case the<br />
