Combination of Decisions by Multiple Classifiers
نویسندگان
چکیده
A technique for combining the results of classifier decisions in a multiclassifier recognition system is presented. Each classifier produces a ranking of a set of classes. The combination t echnique uses these rankings to determine a small subset of the set of classes that contains the correct class. A group consensus function is then applied to re-rank the elements in the subset. This methodology is especially suited for recognition systems with large numbers of classes where it is valuable to reduce the decision problem to a manageable size before making a final determination about the identity of the image. Experimentation is discussed in which the proposed method is used with a word recognition problem where 40 classifiers are applied to degraded machine-printed word images and where a typical lexicon contains 235 words. A 96.6% correct rate is achieved within the 10 best decisions for 817 test images.

Online multiple people tracking-by-detection in crowded scenes
Multiple people detection and tracking is a challenging task in real-world crowded scenes. In this paper, we have presented an online multiple people tracking-by-detection approach with a single camera. We have detected objects with deformable part models and a visual background extractor. In the tracking phase we have used a combination of support vector machine (SVM) person-specific classifie...
متن کاملA Regression Approach to Combination of Decisions by Multiple Character Recognition Algorithms
A regression method is proposed to combine decisions of multiple character recognition algorithms. The method computes a weighted sum of the rank scores produced by the individual classifiers and derive a consensus ranking. The weights are estimated by a logistic regression analysis. Two experiments are discussed where the method was applied to recognize degraded machine-printed characters and ...

The research on multiple classifiers systems includes the creation of an ensemble of classifiers and the proper combination of the decisions. In order to combine the decisions given by classifiers, methods related to fixed rules and decision templates are often used. Therefore, the influence and relationship between classifier decisions are often not considered in the combination schemes. In th...

متن کاملIntegrating Multiple Classifiers In Visual Object Detectors Learned From User Input
There have been many recent efforts in contentbased retrieval to perform automatic classification of images/visual objects. Most approaches, however, have focused on using individual classifiers. In this paper, we study the way in which, in a dynamic framework, multiple classifiers can be combined when applying Visual Object Detectors. We propose a hybrid classifier combination approach, in whi...
