With the increasing scale of e-commerce, the complexity of image content makes commodity image classification face great challenges. Image feature extraction often determines the quality of the final classification results. At present, the image feature extraction part mainly includes the underlying visual feature and the intermediate semantic feature. The intermediate semantics of the image acts as a bridge between the underlying features and the advanced semantics of the image, which can make up for the semantic gap to a certain extent and has strong robustness. As a typical intermediate semantic representation method, the bag-of-visual-words (BoVW) model has received extensive attention in image classification. However, the traditional BoVW model loses the location information of local features, and its local feature descriptors mainly focus on the texture shape information of local regions but lack the expression of color information. Therefore, in this paper, the improved bag-of-visual-words model is presented, which contains three aspects of improvement: (1) multiscale local region extraction; (2) local feature description by speeded up robust features (SURF) and color vector angle histogram (CVAH); and (3) diagonal concentric rectangular pattern. Experimental results show that the three aspects of improvement to the BoVW model are complementary, while compared with the traditional BoVW and the BoVW adopting SURF + SPM, the classification accuracy of the improved BoVW is increased by 3.60% and 2.33%, respectively.

Image classification is acknowledged as one of the most critical and challenging tasks in computer vision. The bag of visual words (BoVW) model has proven to be very efficient for image classification tasks since it can effectively represent distinctive image features in vector space. In this paper, BoVW using Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) and Oriented Fast and Rotated BRIEF(ORB) descriptors are adapted for image classification. We propose a novel image classification system using image local feature information obtained from both SIFT and ORB local feature descriptors. As a result, the constructed SO-BoVW model presents highly discriminative features, enhancing the classification performance. Experiments on Caltech-101 and flowers dataset prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The sparse representation based classification algorithm has been used to solve the problem of human face recognition, but the image database is restricted to human frontal faces with only slight illumination and expression changes. This paper applies the sparse representation based algorithm to the problem of generic image classification, with a certain degree of intra-class variations and background clutter. Experiments are conducted with the sparse representation based algorithm and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers on 25 object categories selected from the Caltech101 dataset. Experimental results show that without the time-consuming parameter optimization, the sparse representation based algorithm achieves comparable performance with SVM. The experiments also demonstrate that the algorithm is robust to a certain degree of background clutter and intra-class variations with the bag-of-visual-words representations. The sparse representation based algorithm can also be applied to generic image classification task when the appropriate image feature is used.

Dimensionality reduction (DR) methods based on graph embedding are widely used for feature extraction. For these methods, the weighted graph plays a vital role in the process of DR because it can characterize the data’s structure information. Moreover, the similarity measurement is a crucial factor for constructing a weighted graph. Wishart distance of covariance matrices and Euclidean distance of polarimetric features are two important similarity measurements for polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image classification. For obtaining a satisfactory PolSAR image classification performance, a co-regularized graph embedding (CRGE) method by combing the two distances is proposed for PolSAR image feature extraction in this paper. Firstly, two weighted graphs are constructed based on the two distances to represent the data’s local structure information. Specifically, the neighbouring samples are sought in a local patch to decrease computation cost and use spatial information. Next the DR model is constructed based on the two weighted graphs and co-regularization. The co-regularization aims to minimize the dissimilarity of low-dimensional features corresponding to two weighted graphs. We employ two types of co-regularization and the corresponding algorithms are proposed. Ultimately, the obtained low-dimensional features are used for PolSAR image classification. Experiments are implemented on three PolSAR datasets and results show that the co-regularized graph embedding can enhance the performance of PolSAR image classification.
