Abstract:
Scene classification is a challenging problem. Compared with object images, scene images are more abstract, as they are composed of objects. Object and scene images have different characteristics with different scales and composition structures. How to effectively integrate the local mid-level semantic representations including both object and scene concepts needs to be investigated, which is an important aspect for scene classification. In this article, the idea of a sharing codebook is introduced by organically integrating deep learning, concept feature, and local feature encoding techniques. More specifically, the shared local feature codebook is generated from the combined ImageNet1K and Places365 concepts (Mixed1365) using convolutional neural networks. As the Mixed1365 features cover all the semantic information including both object and scene concepts, we can extract a shared codebook from the Mixed1365 features, which only contain a subset of the whole 1,365 concepts with the same codebook size. The shared codebook can not only provide complementary representations without additional codebook training but also be adaptively extracted toward different scene classification tasks. A method of fusing the encoded features with both the original codebook and the shared codebook is proposed for scene classification. In this way, more comprehensive and representative image features can be generated for classification. Extensive experimentations conducted on two public datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Besides, some useful observations are also revealed to show the advantage of shared codebook.
