Fast Low-rank Representation based Spatial Pyramid Matching for Image Classification
Spatial Pyramid Matching (SPM) and its variants have achieved a lot of
success in image classification. The main difference among them is their
encoding schemes. For example, ScSPM incorporates Sparse Code (SC) instead of
Vector Quantization (VQ) into the framework of SPM. Although the methods
achieve a higher recognition rate than the traditional SPM, they consume more
time to encode the local descriptors extracted from the image. In this paper,
we propose using Low Rank Representation (LRR) to encode the descriptors under
the framework of SPM. Different from SC, LRR considers the group effect among
data points instead of sparsity. Benefiting from this property, the proposed
method (i.e., LrrSPM) can offer a better performance. To further improve the
generalizability and robustness, we reformulate the rank-minimization problem
as a truncated projection problem. Extensive experimental studies show that
LrrSPM is more efficient than its counterparts (e.g., ScSPM) while achieving
competitive recognition rates on nine image data sets.Comment: accepted into knowledge based systems, 201
Data-Driven Shape Analysis and Processing
Data-driven methods play an increasingly important role in discovering
geometric, structural, and semantic relationships between 3D shapes in
collections, and applying this analysis to support intelligent modeling,
editing, and visualization of geometric data. In contrast to traditional
approaches, a key feature of data-driven approaches is that they aggregate
information from a collection of shapes to improve the analysis and processing
of individual shapes. In addition, they are able to learn models that reason
about properties and relationships of shapes without relying on hard-coded
rules or explicitly programmed instructions. We provide an overview of the main
concepts and components of these techniques, and discuss their application to
shape classification, segmentation, matching, reconstruction, modeling and
exploration, as well as scene analysis and synthesis, through reviewing the
literature and relating the existing works with both qualitative and numerical
comparisons. We conclude our report with ideas that can inspire future research
in data-driven shape analysis and processing.Comment: 10 pages, 19 figure
