Linear Spatial Pyramid Matching Using Non-convex and non-negative Sparse Coding for Image Classification

27 Apr 2015  ·  Chengqiang Bao, Liangtian He, Yi-Lun Wang ·

Recently sparse coding have been highly successful in image classification mainly due to its capability of incorporating the sparsity of image representation. In this paper, we propose an improved sparse coding model based on linear spatial pyramid matching(SPM) and Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT ) descriptors. The novelty is the simultaneous non-convex and non-negative characters added to the sparse coding model. Our numerical experiments show that the improved approach using non-convex and non-negative sparse coding is superior than the original ScSPM[1] on several typical databases.
