Local Image Feature Extraction using Stacked-Autoencoder in the Bag-of-Visual Word modelling of Images
Abass A. Olaode, Golshah A. Naghdy · 2019
The Bag-of-Visual Words has been recognised as an effective mean of representing images for image classification. However, its reliance on hand crafted image feature extraction algorithms often results in significant computational overhead, and poor classification accuracies. Therefore, this paper presents a Bag-of-Visual Word Modelling in which Image Feature Extraction is achieved using Deep Feature Learning via Stacked-Autoencoder. The proposed method is tested using three image collections constituted from the Caltech 101 image collection and the results confirm the ability of deep feature learning to yield optimum image categorisation performance.
