%%================================================================ %% Step 0a: Load data % Here we provide the code to load natural image data into x. % x will be a 784 * 600000 matrix, where the kth column x(:, k) corresponds to % the raw image data from the kth 12x12 image patch sampled. % You do not need to change the code below. clear all; close all; addpath(genpath('../common')) x = loadMNISTImages('../common/train-images-idx3-ubyte'); figure('name','Raw images'); randsel = randi(size(x,2),200,1); % A random selection of samples for visualization display_network(x(:,randsel)); %%================================================================ %% Step 0b: Zero-mean the data (by row) % You can make use of the mean and repmat/bsxfun functions. avg = mean(x, 1); % Compute the mean pixel intensity value separately for each patch. x = x - repmat(avg, size(x, 1), 1); %%================================================================ %% Step 1a: Implement PCA to obtain xRot % Implement PCA to obtain xRot, the matrix in which the data is expressed % with respect to the eigenbasis of sigma, which is the matrix U. sigma = x * x' / size(x, 2); size_sigma = size(sigma) [U,S,V] = svd(sigma); xrot = U' * x; size(xrot) %%================================================================ %% Step 1b: Check your implementation of PCA % The covariance matrix for the data expressed with respect to the basis U % should be a diagonal matrix with non-zero entries only along the main % diagonal. We will verify this here. % Write code to compute the covariance matrix, covar. % When visualised as an image, you should see a straight line across the % diagonal (non-zero entries) against a blue background (zero entries). sigma = xrot * xrot' / size(xrot, 2); % Visualise the covariance matrix. You should see a line across the % diagonal against a blue background. figure('name','Visualisation of covariance matrix'); imagesc(sigma); %%================================================================ %% Step 2: Find k, the number of components to retain % Write code to determine k, the number of components to retain in order % to retain at least 99% of the variance. retained_variance = 1.0; retained_variance_target = 0.90; lambda = diag(S); k = length(lambda); while(retained_variance > retained_variance_target) retained_variance = sum(lambda(1:k))./sum(lambda); k = k - 1; end k = k %%================================================================ %% Step 3: Implement PCA with dimension reduction % Now that you have found k, you can reduce the dimension of the data by % discarding the remaining dimensions. In this way, you can represent the % data in k dimensions instead of the original 144, which will save you % computational time when running learning algorithms on the reduced % representation. % % Following the dimension reduction, invert the PCA transformation to produce % the matrix xHat, the dimension-reduced data with respect to the original basis. % Visualise the data and compare it to the raw data. You will observe that % there is little loss due to throwing away the principal components that % correspond to dimensions with low variation. xHat = U(:, 1:k) * xrot(1:k, :); % Visualise the data, and compare it to the raw data % You should observe that the raw and processed data are of comparable quality. % For comparison, you may wish to generate a PCA reduced image which % retains only 90% of the variance. figure('name',['PCA processed images ',sprintf('(%d / %d dimensions)', k, size(x, 1)),'']); display_network(xHat(:,randsel)); %%================================================================ %% Step 4a: Implement PCA with whitening and regularisation % Implement PCA with whitening and regularisation to produce the matrix % xPCAWhite. epsilon = 1e-1; %%% YOUR CODE HERE %%% xPCAWhite = diag(sqrt(1./(diag(S) + epsilon))) * xrot; %% Step 4b: Check your implementation of PCA whitening % Check your implementation of PCA whitening with and without regularisation. % PCA whitening without regularisation results a covariance matrix % that is equal to the identity matrix. PCA whitening with regularisation % results in a covariance matrix with diagonal entries starting close to % 1 and gradually becoming smaller. We will verify these properties here. % Write code to compute the covariance matrix, covar. % % Without regularisation (set epsilon to 0 or close to 0), % when visualised as an image, you should see a red line across the % diagonal (one entries) against a blue background (zero entries). % With regularisation, you should see a red line that slowly turns % blue across the diagonal, corresponding to the one entries slowly % becoming smaller. %%% YOUR CODE HERE %%% xpca_nonreg = diag(sqrt(1./(diag(S) + 1e-6))) * xrot; sigma = xpca_nonreg * xpca_nonreg' / size(xpca_nonreg, 2); % Visualise the covariance matrix. You should see a red line across the % diagonal against a blue background. figure('name','Visualisation of covariance matrix'); imagesc(sigma); %%================================================================ %% Step 5: Implement ZCA whitening % Now implement ZCA whitening to produce the matrix xZCAWhite. % Visualise the data and compare it to the raw data. You should observe % that whitening results in, among other things, enhanced edges. %%% YOUR CODE HERE %%% xZCAWhite = U * xPCAWhite; % Visualise the data, and compare it to the raw data. % You should observe that the whitened images have enhanced edges. figure('name','ZCA whitened images'); display_network(xZCAWhite(:,randsel));
