bus: Automatic vehicle recognition data

Description

The data set bus (Hettich and Bay, 1999) corresponds to a study in automatic vehicle recognition (see Maronna et al. 2006, page 213, Example 6.3)). This data set from the Turing Institute, Glasgow, Scotland, contains measures of shape features extracted from vehicle silhouettes. The images were acquired by a camera looking downward at the model vehicle from a fixed angle of elevation. Each of the 218 rows corresponds to a view of a bus silhouette, and contains 18 attributes of the image.

Usage

data(bus)

Format

A data frame with 218 observations on the following 18 variables:

V1

compactness

V2

V3

distance circularity

V4

radius ratio

V5

V6

maximum length aspect ratio

V7

scatter ratio

V8

V9

principal axis rectangularity

V10

maximum length rectangularity

V11

scaled variance along major axis

V12

scaled variance along minor axis

V13

scaled radius of gyration

V14

skewness about major axis

V15

skewness about minor axis

V16

kurtosis about minor axis

V17

kurtosis about major axis

V18

hollows ratio
