Title
Image classification based on pyramid histogram of topics
Abstract
In this paper we propose PHOTO (pyramid histogram of topics), a new representation for image classification. We partition the image into hierarchical cells and learn the topic histogram using pLSA over each cell with EM algorithm. Then we concatenate the topic histograms over the cells at all levels to form a ldquolongrdquo vector, i.e. pyramid histogram of topics. Finally AdaBoost classifiers are used to select the topics most discriminative for class recognition. Experimental results on two diverse databases show that our method performs significantly better than general topic representation.
