Abstract

With the rapid development of computer technology, millions of images are produced everyday by different sources. How to efficiently process these images and accurately discern the scene in them becomes an important but tough task. In this paper, we propose a novel supervised learning framework based on proposed adaptive binary coding for scene classification. Specifically, we first extract some high-level features of images under consideration based on available models trained on public datasets. Then, we further design a binary encoding method called one-hot encoding to make the feature representation more efficient. Benefiting from the proposed adaptive binary coding, our method is free of time to train or fine-tune the deep network and can effectively handle different applications. Experimental results on three public datasets, i.e., UIUC sports event dataset, MIT Indoor dataset, and UC Merced dataset in terms of three different classifiers, demonstrate that our method is superior to the state-of-the-art methods with large margins.
