ImageMiner 1.3.3 - help documentation?
Well, I finally managed to install the ImageMiner extension on a Windows XP system (never got it to work on my Mac OSX system). I got it from here: [(http://spl.utko.feec.vutbr.cz/en/component/content/article/46-image-processing-extension-for-rapidminer-5)] Now, I am trying to use it but it is not at all intuitive. I cannot find any help documentation on their website. Can anyone point me to some help documentation on the ImageMiner extension?

on my http://www.myexperiment.org/users/18932/workflows are some workflows. You can start here or write me, what would you like to do. So I can post here some temp process based on your demands.

I want to classify images. I have images from security cameras and I want to classify them based on whether they contain people or vehicles or do not contain people or vehicles. The cameras are stationary. I have many examples of images in which people and / or vehicles do appear and i also have many images in which they do not appear. I also have many images in different levels of light (bright, sunny day, overcast day, etc). I also have images of days in which there was a significant change in the landscape appearance (i.e., snowy days). It should be fairly straight forward to implement especially if i break the recognition into different tasks.
It looks like ImageMiner has the capability to do what I want to do. I just need to figure out what all of the ImageMiner processes do so I know which ones would be helpful for my task. I plan to experiment with both neural networks and also SVM's to perform the classification / recognition task.
there is small example, how to convert images in tree folders to labeled example set: Maybe some preprocessing operators are needed for improve performance (equalize histogram etc.)

I still would like to see some documentation on the ImageMiner extension. Surely there is some somewhere. Do you know where I might find it?
By the way, when I looked at MyExperiment to see your workflows, I read about Taverna. I had never heard of that application before. Are you familiar with it? I am curious as to how it is being used.
Thanks!
Situation about documentation will get better this summer. I hope I also had never heard of Taverna

Taverna is an open source workflow system for the execution of scientific workflows composed of different web services:
http://www.taverna.org.uk/
It has been mainly developed by the University of Manchester, one of Rapid-I's project partners in the European project "e-LICO". Taverna is a great system - especially in the domain of bioinformatics. And Taverna now offers a RapidMiner extension which can be used to address all RapidMiner operators as web services provided by a RapidAnalytics server - and this makes Taverna an even greater piece of software now
More information about this extension can be found at
http://www.e-lico.eu/?q=TavernaRM
The extension was also presented during RCOMM 2011, our last user conference. The proceedings are available at
http://www.amazon.de/Proceedings-RapidMiner-Community-Conference-Informatik/dp/3844000933

Ingo, thanks for the info. I will look into Taverna. At first glance, it appears that it could be useful for a very wide range of tasks.
