Sparse Kernel Learning for Image Set Classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
No single universal image set representation can efficiently encode all types of image set variations. In the absence of expensive validation data, automatically ranking representations with respect to performance is a challenging task. We propose a sparse kernel learning algorithm for automatic selection and integration of the most discriminative subset of kernels derived from different image set representations. By optimizing a sparse linear discriminant analysis criterion, we learn a unified kernel from the linear combination of the best kernels only. Kernel discriminant analysis is then performed on the unified kernel. Experiments on four standard datasets show that the proposed algorithm outperforms current state-of-the-art image set classification and kernel learning algorithms.

Face Recognition using an Affine Sparse Coding approach
Sparse coding is an unsupervised method which learns a set of over-complete bases to represent data such as image and video. Sparse coding has increasing attraction for image classification applications in recent years. But in the cases where we have some similar images from different classes, such as face recognition applications, different images may be classified into the same class, and hen...
متن کاملImage Classification via Sparse Representation and Subspace Alignment
Image representation is a crucial problem in image processing where there exist many low-level representations of image, i.e., SIFT, HOG and so on. But there is a missing link across low-level and high-level semantic representations. In fact, traditional machine learning approaches, e.g., non-negative matrix factorization, sparse representation and principle component analysis are employed to d...

Traditional sparse representation algorithms usually operate in a single Euclidean space. This paper leverages a self-explanatory reformulation of sparse representation, i.e., linking the learned dictionary atoms with the original feature spaces explicitly, to extend simultaneous dictionary learning and sparse coding into reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS). The resulting single-view self-...

Combining information from various image descriptors has become a standard technique for image classification tasks. Multiple kernel learning (MKL) approaches allow to determine the optimal combination of such similarity matrices and the optimal classifier simultaneously. Most MKL approaches employ an `-regularization on the mixing coefficients to promote sparse solutions; an assumption that is...
