public class MergeToIncreaseObjectFeature
extends MergeWithFeature

Merges neighboring objects if it results in an increase in the average feature-value calculated on each single object.

A merge occurs if feature(merged) >= avg( feature(object1), feature(object2).

These merges occur in order of the maximum increase offered, and the algorithm recursively merge until all possible merges are complete.

The feature-value is calculated for each object that is a vertex of the graph (including all prospective merges of neighbors).

Method Details

createPayloadCalculator

protected PayloadCalculator createPayloadCalculator()
                                             throws OperationFailedException

Description copied from class: MergeWithFeature

Determines the payload for any given or potential vertex.

Specified by:

createPayloadCalculator in class MergeWithFeature

Returns:

a PayloadCalculator for determining vertex payloads

Throws:

OperationFailedException - if the payload calculator cannot be created

createPrioritizer

protected AssignPriority createPrioritizer()
                                    throws OperationFailedException

Description copied from class: MergeWithFeature

Determines the priority (and selection criteria) used to allow merges between neighbors.

Specified by:

createPrioritizer in class MergeWithFeature

Returns:

an AssignPriority for determining merge priorities

Throws:

OperationFailedException - if the prioritizer cannot be created

isPlayloadUsed

protected boolean isPlayloadUsed()

Description copied from class: MergeWithFeature

Checks if the payload is considered in making decisions.

Specified by:

isPlayloadUsed in class MergeWithFeature

Returns:

true if the payload is used, false if the payload of nodes is irrelevant

getFeatureEvaluator

public FeatureEvaluator<FeatureInputSingleObject> getFeatureEvaluator()

setFeatureEvaluator

public void setFeatureEvaluator(FeatureEvaluator<FeatureInputSingleObject> featureEvaluator)
