Abstract

In this paper, a new hierarchical classification method based on the use of various types of AdaBoost classification algorithms is proposed for automatic classification of marble slab images according to their quality. At first, features are extracted using the sum and difference histograms method and, at the second stage, different versions of the AdaBoost algorithms are used as classifiers together with those extracted features in a proposed hierarchical fashion. Performance of the proposed method is compared against performances of different types of neural network classifiers and a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. Computational results show that the proposed hierarchical structure employing AdaBoost algorithms performs superior to neural networks and the SVM classifier for classifying marble slab images in our large and diversified data set.
