Abstract

This paper proposes a fast, incremental codebook quantization algorithm for image classification consisting of a fast codebook graph learning algorithm using incremental neural learning, and a subgraph-based coding method. Comparing with the algorithms based on classic Bag-of-Features (BOF) model, it holds the following advantages: 1) it learns codebook fast and effectively simply using a few training data; 2) it models relationships among visual words to guarantee higher discriminative power; 3) it automatically learns codebook with appropriate size. The above characteristics make our method more suitable for handling large-scale image classification tasks. Experimental results on Caltech-101 and Caltech-256 datasets demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves better performance while decreasing the computational cost remarkably.
