This project is made of three parts:

1. Wikiart scraper using scrapy
2. Robust image descriptor extractor using scikit image
3. Support vector machine the relies on data scraped from wikiart to recognize images it is given

###Usage: To install run:

python setup.py

And to use the predictor run:

from image_predictor.multiclass_svm import MultiClassSVM

predictor = MultiClassSVM('data_set_file_path')
predictor.predict('image.jpg')

you can find a built dataset in the data folder
and you could also build yours using the image vectorizer (more below..)

To use the vectorizer run:

from image_vectorizer.vectorizer import get_descriptor

descriptor = get_descriptor([numpy format image, b/w or rgb])

you can save this data to a json file or pass it directly to
the SVM using the SVM's 'fit' function

To run the scraper run:

scrapy crawl wikiart_global

note that the scraper already saved the new scraped data to a data log
so no fuss about it
