Conventional object recognition techniques rely heavily on manually annotated image datasets to achieve good performances. However, collecting high quality datasets is really laborious. The image search engines such as Google Images seem to provide quantities of object images. Unfortunately, a large portion of the search images are irrelevant. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised framework for learning visual categories from Google Images. We exploit a co-training algorithm, the CoBoost algorithm, and integrate it with two kinds of features, the 1st and 2nd order features, which define bag of words representation and spatial relationship between local features, respectively. We create two boosting classifiers based on the 1st and 2nd order features in the training, during which one classifier provides labels for the other. The 2nd order features are generated dynamically rather than extracted exhaustively to avoid high computation. An active learning technique is also introduced to further improve the performance. Experimental results show that the object models learned from Google Images by our method are competitive with the state-of-the-art unsupervised approaches and some supervised techniques on the standard benchmark datasets.
