Compact and adaptive spatial pyramids for scene recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most successful approaches on scene recognition tend to efficiently combine global image features with spatial local appearance and shape cues. On the other hand, less attention has been devoted for studying spatial texture features within scenes. Our method is based on the insight that scenes can be seen as a composition of micro-texture patterns. This paper analyzes the role of texture along with its spatial layout for scene recognition. However, one main drawback of the resulting spatial representation is its huge dimensionality. Hence, we propose a technique that addresses this problem by presenting a compact Spatial Pyramid (SP) representation. The basis of our compact representation, namely, Compact Adaptive Spatial Pyramid (CASP) consists of a two-stages compression strategy. This strategy is based on the Agglomerative Information Bottleneck (AIB) theory for (i) compressing the least informative SP features, and, (ii) automatically learning the most appropriate shape for each category. Our method exceeds the state-of-the-art results on several challenging scene recognition data sets.

متن کاملDiscriminative compact pyramids for object and scene recognition
Spatial pyramids have been successfully applied to incorporating spatial information into bag-of-words based image representation. However, a major drawback is that it leads to high dimensional image representations. In this paper, we present a novel framework for obtaining compact pyramid representation. Firstly, we investigate the usage of the divisive information theoretic feature clustering...

We introduce a new framework for image classification that extends beyond the window sampling of fixed spatial pyramids to include a comprehensive set of windows densely sampled over location, size and aspect ratio. To effectively deal with this large set of windows, we derive a concise high-level image feature using a two-level extraction method. At the first level, window-based features are c...
