Image scene categorization using multi-bag-of-features

Abstract

Image scene classification, the classification of images into semantic categories, e.g. city, urban, sea, etc, has recently become a vigorous research focus in computer vision for its broad application prospect. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to understand image semantic scene based on multi-bag-of-features. We aim to design an efficient but simple scene classification algorithm via fusing multiple low-level image features. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach offers an effective way to classify the complex image scenes by using a multi-bag-of-features model.
