Object Categorization Using Boosting Within Hierarchical Bayesian Model
Résumé
In this paper we address the problem of generative object
categorization in computer vision. We propose a Bayesian
model using Hierarchical Dirichlet Processes mixing AdaBoost
learning. Although previous methods trained HDP
model for one or two latent themes, our proposed approach
uses small-patch-independent-words of appearance-based descriptor
and shape information to train a set of intermediate
components which are the mixture of visualwords. We then
employ AdaBoost weaker learner to find the most related
components for classification to handle the variance in intraclass
and inter-class information. We show that it performs
well for Caltech datasets and with the potential to connect the
visual concepts with semantic concepts.
