Abstract

To overcome the disadvantages of general object recognition methods based on traditional Bag of Words, this paper proposed a method for object recognition based on Region of Interest (ROI) and optimal Bag of Words model (BOW). Firstly, extracting the ROI, the interest image, whose features are detected and described using the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT). Secondly, constructing a visual codebook by clustering the feature vectors using K-means++ cluster algorithm. Thirdly, the mapping relationships between the vectors and visual codebook are computed to construct a visual word histogram that represents the image. Finally, The Support Vector Machine (SVM) is utilized to perform image classification and recognition. The experiments are performed on the MSRC 21-class database. The results show that the recognition accuracy of the proposed method is better than the traditional object recognition methods.
