The invention discloses a migration classification learning method for maintaining a
sparse structure of image classification. The method includes the steps of finding two different source and targetdomains with
similar distribution, the source domain containing
label data, firstly, training a classification classifier on the source domain by using a supervised classification method, and predicting a pseudo
label of target domain data by using the classifier; secondly, constructing edge distribution and conditional distribution terms of the source and target domain data respectively by usingthe maximum
mean difference, and combining the both to form a joint distribution term; thirdly, constructing a sparse representation matrix S on all the data by using an effective projection
sparse learning toolkit, to construct a
sparse structure preserving term; fourthly, constructing a
structural risk minimization term by using the
structural risk minimization principle; and fifthly, combiningthe
structural risk minimization term, the joint distribution term, and the
sparse structure preserving term to construct a uniform migration classification learning framework, and substituting into the framework using a classification
function representation theorem including a kernel function to obtain a classifier that can be finally used to predict the target domain category.
