Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of local histogram-based image feature selection for learning binary classifiers. We show a novel technique which efficiently combines histogram feature projection with the conditional mutual information (CMI) based classifier selection scheme. Moreover, we investigate cost-sensitive modifications of the CMI-based selection procedure, which further improves the classification performance. Extensive evaluations show that the proposed methods are suitable for object detection and recognition tasks.
