Deep Boosting: Layered Feature Mining for General Image Classification
Constructing effective representations is a critical but challenging problem
in multimedia understanding. The traditional handcraft features often rely on
domain knowledge, limiting the performances of exiting methods. This paper
discusses a novel computational architecture for general image feature mining,
which assembles the primitive filters (i.e. Gabor wavelets) into compositional
features in a layer-wise manner. In each layer, we produce a number of base
classifiers (i.e. regression stumps) associated with the generated features,
and discover informative compositions by using the boosting algorithm. The
output compositional features of each layer are treated as the base components
to build up the next layer. Our framework is able to generate expressive image
representations while inducing very discriminate functions for image
classification. The experiments are conducted on several public datasets, and
we demonstrate superior performances over state-of-the-art approaches.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, ICME 201
