Embodiment 1

[0212] Corresponding to the method provided in Embodiment 2 of an image classification method of the present application, see Figure 6 , the present application also provides Embodiment 1 of an image classification device, which may include:

[0213] The feature extraction module 601 is used to extract the classified image features of an image to be classified.

[0214] The quantization determination module 602 is used to quantify each category image feature into a plurality of visual words in the visual dictionary according to the similarity relationship between each category image feature and the visual word in the pre-generated visual dictionary, and determine each category The similarity coefficients of image features and their quantized visual words respectively.

[0215] The division module 603 is configured to divide the image to be classified into multiple sub-images according to the image pyramid algorithm.

[0216] In order to enable the visual word histogram to r...

Embodiment 3

[0228] Corresponding to the method provided in Embodiment 3 of an image classification method of the present application, see Figure 7 , the present application also provides Embodiment 3 of an image classification device, which may include:

[0229] A feature extraction module 701, configured to extract a classified image feature of an image to be classified;

[0230] The model construction module 702 is configured to construct a sparse coding model of the classified image features and the pre-generated visual dictionary according to the similarity relationship between each classified image feature and the visual words in the pre-generated visual dictionary in a sparse coding manner.

[0231] Wherein, the sparse coding model is specifically:

[0232] arg C min Σ i = 1 N | | X i ...

Embodiment 4

[0244] Corresponding to the method provided in Embodiment 3 of an image classification method of the present application, see Figure 8 , the present application also provides Embodiment 4 of an image classification device, which may include:

[0245] A feature extraction module 801, configured to extract a classified image feature of an image to be classified;

[0246] The first calculation module 802 is configured to calculate the Euclidean distance between each classified image feature and the visual words in the visual dictionary according to the similarity relationship between each classified image feature and the visual words in the pre-generated visual dictionary.

[0247] Image features are expressed in vector form, for example, SIFT feature is a 128-dimensional vector. Visual words are obtained by clustering image features, which are also represented by vectors of the same dimension as image features. Among them, the Euclidean distance refers to the distance between...

Abstract

The invention provides an image classification method and a device. The method includes the following steps: extracting classification image characteristics of a to-be-classified image; quantizing each classification image characteristic into a plurality of vision words in a vision dictionary according to a similarity relation of the each classification image characteristic and the vision words in the preset vision dictionary, and determining similarity factors of the each classification image characteristic and the quantized vision words respectively; determining weight of the vision words to set a classified vision word histogram of the to-be-classified image according to the similarity factors of each vision word corresponding to different classification image characteristics in the vision dictionary; inputting the classified vision word histogram into an image classifier which is generated by training of a sample vision word histogram which is preset according to a large amount of sample images, and determining classes of the to-be-classified image according to output results. The image classification method and the device can improve accuracy of image classification and reduce classification errors.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of image processing, in particular to an image classification method and device. Background technique [0002] Image classification is an image processing technology that classifies images according to the characteristics reflected in different images to determine the category. With the rapid expansion of the number of images on the Internet, especially in the field of e-commerce, a large amount of image information is involved. Through image classification, the detection of prohibited items and the recommendation of similar products can be realized. Therefore, image classification technology has gradually become the focus of research. [0003] The existing image classification methods usually represent the image to be classified as a histogram of visual words to be classified according to the pre-generated visual dictionary, and then determine the category of the image to be classified by the imag...
