Improved Arabic Word Classification using Spatial Pyramid Matching Method

چکیده
In recent years, rapidly developed hand written word recognition techniques have attracted researcher’s attention to study Arabic word classification. Arabic language has cursive style of writing so it needs special framework for classification. In this paper, a precise framework for Arabic word classification is presented, which uses sparse coding with spatial pyramid matching (SPM) algorithm and linear support vector machine classifier. SPM maps each feature set to a multi-resolution histogram that preserves the individual feature at the finest level. The histogram pyramids are then compared by using a weighted histogram intersection algorithm. Our proposed framework is evaluated with four publically available datasets; IFN/ENIT, PATS-A01, IFHCDB and ISI Bangla numeral. Experimental results show that the proposed framework outperforms those state of art methods used for Arabic words classification. KeywordsArabic Character Recognition; linear support vector machine (LSVM); Spatial Pyramid Matching (SPM); Scale invariant feature transform (SIFT).

Improved Spatial Pyramid Matching for Image Classification
Spatial analysis of salient feature points has been shown to be promising in image analysis and classification. In the past, spatial pyramid matching makes use of both of salient feature points and spatial multiresolution blocks to match between images. However, it is shown that different images or blocks can still have similar features using spatial pyramid matching. The analysis and matching ...
متن کاملVisual Objects Classification with Sliding Spatial Pyramid Matching
We present a method for visual object classification using only a single feature, transformed color SIFT [15] with a variant of Spatial Pyramid Matching (SPM) that we called Sliding Spatial Pyramid Matching (SSPM), trained with an ensemble of linear regression (provided by LINEAR) to obtained state of the art result on Caltech-101 [22] of 83.46%. SSPM is a special version of SPM where instead o...
متن کاملImage Classification Using Sparse Coding and Spatial Pyramid Matching
Recently, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) using Spatial Pyramid Matching (SPM) kernel has achieved remarkable successful in image classification. The classification accuracy can be improved further when combining the sparse coding with SPM. However, the existing methods give the same weight of patches of SPM at different levels. Clearly the discriminative powers of SPM at different levels are ...
متن کاملApplication of sparse coding with spatial pyramid matching for face expression classification
In this work I evaluate the performance of image classification method based on spatial pyramid matching for sparse codes, using the JAFFE database of facial expressions. I show that the method is comparable to other methods, typically used for such datasets, and I also introduce some attempts that I made towards the improvement of the algorithm.
متن کاملImage Classification Using Spatial Pyramid Coding and Visual Word Reweighting
The ignorance on spatial information and semantics of visual words becomes main obstacles in the bag-of-visual-words (BoW) method for image classification. To address the obstacles, we present an improved BoW representation using spatial pyramid coding (SPC) and visual word reweighting. In SPC procedure, we adopt the sparse coding technique to encode visual features with the spatial constraint....
