How do I create an open class classifier

I am calling function kNN_model_add_class to trained and create one class call dogs.

How do I create an 'Open class' where there will be all the other sounds(i do not want to specify them just all the other)

I am trying to make One vs all classifier.. Dog or no Dog

Thanks

strDir = 'C:\Users\User\Desktop\3rd year\Nahravky\cats_dogs';
Statistics = {'mean', 'median', 'std', 'stdbymean', 'max', 'min'};
stWin = 0.040;
stStep = 0.040;
mtWin = 2;
mtStep = 1;

kNN_model_add_class('Mfcctrain.mat', 'dogs', [ strDir '\trainpes'], ...
    Statistics, stWin, stStep, mtWin, mtStep);

function kNN_model_add_class

function kNN_model_add_class(modelName, className, classPath, ...

    % long-term averaging:

% save the model:

if fp<0 % model does not exist --> generate     
    ClassNames{1} = className;
    Features{1} = F;   
    FileNames{1} = FileNamesTemp;
    save(modelName, 'ClassNames', 'Features', ...

Note in the else for if fp<0 you should fclose(fp) .

You should consider instead using

exist(modelName, 'file')

[Kamil Kacer]

Instead of line

load(modelName);

i should use

exist(modelName, 'file')

so it creates an open class ?

This will not create an open class: it will just fix a bug in the code.

[Kamil Kacer]

Thanks but how to i create an open class

[Walter Roberson]

You do not create an open class. A specific open class would have to be trained as having particular characteristics, and anything that did not have those characteristics would not match.

Instead you define a threshold for matching each of your defined classes, and if the image does not meet the threshold for any of the defined classes then you say that it is Other.
