Title
Informative census transform for very low-resolution image representation
Abstract
Our paper newly presents unsupervised feature representation method for very low-resolution (VLR) images called informative census transform (ICT) based on statistical analysis of CT binary features and submodular optimization. A new cost function is designed to measure the informativeness of each binary feature: (1) an individual informativeness of features to represent unlabeled image dataset and (2) relative informativeness between binary features to represent different binary features. Therefore, we considered informativeness of binary feature according to two relationship (1) between feature space and image space, and (2) between different features within same feature space. Moreover, two constraints are designed by considering sub-modular characteristics to guarantee theoretical performance and fast optimization via simple greedy algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed ICT features with two constraints outperforms the traditional CT features in terms of recognition performance and computational cost at VLR problem.
