An oil painters recognition method based on cluster multiple kernel learning algorithm
A lot of image processing research works focus on natural images, such as in classification, clustering, and the research on the recognition of artworks (such as oil paintings), from feature extraction to classifier design, is relatively few. This paper focuses on oil painter recognition and tries to find the mobile application to recognize the painter. This paper proposes a cluster multiple kernel learning algorithm, which extracts oil painting features from three aspects: color, texture, and spatial layout, and generates multiple candidate kernels with different kernel functions. With the results of clustering numerous candidate kernels, we selected the sub-kernels with better classification performance, and use the traditional multiple kernel learning algorithm to carry out the multi-feature fusion classification. The algorithm achieves a better result on the Painting91 than using traditional multiple kernel learning directly
Spectral-spatial classification of hyperspectral images: three tricks and a new supervised learning setting
Spectral-spatial classification of hyperspectral images has been the subject
of many studies in recent years. In the presence of only very few labeled
pixels, this task becomes challenging. In this paper we address the following
two research questions: 1) Can a simple neural network with just a single
hidden layer achieve state of the art performance in the presence of few
labeled pixels? 2) How is the performance of hyperspectral image classification
methods affected when using disjoint train and test sets? We give a positive
answer to the first question by using three tricks within a very basic shallow
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture: a tailored loss function, and
smooth- and label-based data augmentation. The tailored loss function enforces
that neighborhood wavelengths have similar contributions to the features
generated during training. A new label-based technique here proposed favors
selection of pixels in smaller classes, which is beneficial in the presence of
very few labeled pixels and skewed class distributions. To address the second
question, we introduce a new sampling procedure to generate disjoint train and
test set. Then the train set is used to obtain the CNN model, which is then
applied to pixels in the test set to estimate their labels. We assess the
efficacy of the simple neural network method on five publicly available
hyperspectral images. On these images our method significantly outperforms
considered baselines. Notably, with just 1% of labeled pixels per class, on
these datasets our method achieves an accuracy that goes from 86.42%
(challenging dataset) to 99.52% (easy dataset). Furthermore we show that the
simple neural network method improves over other baselines in the new
challenging supervised setting. Our analysis substantiates the highly
beneficial effect of using the entire image (so train and test data) for
constructing a model.Comment: Remote Sensing 201
Visual and geographical data fusion to classify landmarks in geo-tagged images
High level semantic image recognition and classification is a challenging task and currently is a very active research domain. Computers struggle with the high level task of identifying objects and scenes within digital images accurately in unconstrained environments. In this paper, we present experiments that aim to overcome the limitations of computer vision algorithms by combining them with novel contextual based features to describe geo-tagged imagery. We adopt a machine learning based algorithm with the aim of classifying classes of geographical landmarks within digital images. We use community contributed image sets downloaded from Flickr and provide a thorough investigation, the results of which are presented in an evaluation section
