摘要

This paper proposes an efficient framework for scene categorization by combining generative model and discriminative model. A state-of-the-art approach for scene categorization is the Bag-of-Words (BoW) framework. However, there exist many categories in scenes. Generally when a new category is considered, the codebook in BoW framework needs to be re-generated, which will involve exhaustive computation. In view of this, this paper tries to address the issue by designing a new framework with good scalability. When an additional category is considered, much lower computational cost is needed while the resulting image signatures are still discriminative. The image signatures for training discriminative model are carefully designed based on the generative model. The soft relevance value of the extracted image signatures are estimated by image signature space modeling and are incorporated in Fuzzy Support Vector Machine (FSVM). The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated on UIUC Scene-15 dataset and NTU-25 dataset, and it is shown to outperform other state-of-the-art approaches for scene categorization.
