Abstract

Scene classification aims at grouping images into semantic categories. In this article, a new scene classification method is proposed. It consists of regularized auto-encoder-based feature learning step and SVM-based classification step. In the first step, the regularized auto-encoder, imposed with the maximum scatter difference (MSD) criterion and sparse constraint, is trained to extract features of the source images. In the second step, a multi-class SVM classifier is employed to classify those features. To evaluate the proposed approach, experiments based on 8-category sport events (LF data set) are conducted. Results prove that the introduced approach significantly improves the performance of the current popular scene classification methods.
