Image representation based on multi-features

Abstract

As one kind of popular application in computer vision, image clustering has attracted many attentions. Some machine learning algorithms have been widely employed, such as K-Means, Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF), Graph regularized Non-negative Matrix Factorization (GNMF) and Locally Consistent Concept Factorization (LCCF). These methods possess respective strength and weakness. The common problem existing in these clustering algorithms is that they only use one kind of feature. However, different kinds of features complement each other and can be used to improve performance results. In this paper, in order to make use of the complementarity between different features, we propose an image representation method based on multi-features. Clustering results on several benchmark image data sets show that the proposed scheme outperforms some classical methods.
