This program is a classifier that is trained to classify labeled binary images (image bits can only have two values: 0 and 1 for black and white), also known as supervised training.
The classifier is trained by fitting a GMM (Gaussian Mixture Model) based on each image's feature vector from the training set, which will allow us to classify new binary images (different from the training set) using a Maximum a Posteriori classification technique by comparing each of the new images' feature vector to the ones stored in the GMM.
The results can be viewed in a confusion matrix, which is a table that is incremented after each new image has been classified. It allows us to visualize how many images have been correctly classified over the total set.
After optimization by calculating the ideal feature vector length (8 was the chosen length), a classifying precision of 83% was achieved.
You can read a more detailed explanation of how the classifier was built, optimized and the mathematics used here: report.
