Abstract
En 中文
Bag-of-Visual-Words (BoVW) is still a useful image classification model when there is not enough data to use Deep Learning. In BoVW model, the practice of reducing the reconstruction errors of local features can improve the classification accuracy owing to the decrease of information loss. Many reconstruction-based coding methods are proposed to learn a visual dictionary and encode local features via minimizing the reconstruction errors of local features with constraints. Besides this, the accuracy can also be improved by learning the category-specific dictionaries and then encoding features based on these dictionaries. By considering the two practices together, we propose a simple category-specific dictionary learning method tailored for reconstruction-based feature coding. Our method can be used as a universal one to improve the classification accuracies of many reconstruction-based coding methods, which is the highlight of our method. Concretely, a universal dictionary is learned by employing a reconstruction-based coding method and then refined for each category to obtain the category-specific dictionary of this category. When encoding a feature by a category-specific dictionary, the visual words for encoding it are decided in advance by the indices, which correspond to the non-zero elements of its coding vector obtained with the universal dictionary. The effectiveness of our method is validated by observing whether there is an accuracy improvement after applying our method. Our results on Scene-15, Caltech-101, and UIUC-Sports datasets show that the accuracies of four representative coding methods are improved by about 0.3% to 2.7%, which experimentally demonstrates the universality and effectiveness of our method.
