Title
A comprehensive system for image scene classification
Abstract
In recent years, image scene classification based on low/high-level features has been considered as one of the most important and challenging problems faced in image processing research. The high-level features based on semantic concepts present a more accurate and closer model to the human perception of the image scene content. This paper presents a new multi-stage approach for image scene classification based on high-level semantic features extracted from image content. In the first stage, the object boundaries and their labels that represent the content are extracted. For this purpose, a combined method of a fully convolutional deep network and a combined network of a two-class SVM-fuzzy and SVR are used. Topic modeling is used to represent the latent relationships between the objects. Hence in the second stage, a new combination of methods consisting of the bag of visual words, and supervised document neural autoregressive distribution estimator is used to extract the latent topics (topic modeling) in the image. Finally, classification based on Bayesian method is performed according to the extracted features of the deep network, objects labels and the latent topics in the image. The proposed method has been evaluated on three datasets: Scene15, UIUC Sports, and MIT-67 Indoor. The experimental results show that the proposed approach achieves average performance improvement of 12%, 11% and 14% in the accuracy of object detection, and 0.5%, 0.6% and 1.8% in the mean average precision criteria of the image scene classification, compared to the previous state-of-the-art methods on these three datasets.
