This paper presents an efficient image feature representation method, namely angle structure descriptor(ASD), which is built based on the angle structures of images. According to the diversity in directions, angle structures are defined in local blocks. Combining color information in HSV color space, we use angle structures to detect images. The internal correlations between neighboring pixels in angle structures are explored to form a feature vector. With angle structures as bridges, ASD extracts image features by integrating multiple information as a whole, such as color, texture, shape and spatial layout information. In addition, the proposed algorithm is efficient for image retrieval without any clustering implementation or model training. Experimental results demonstrate that ASD outperforms the other related algorithms.
GEPSVM(Proximal Support Vector Machine Classification via Generalized Eigenvalues)是近年提出来的一种新的二分类SVM,其核心思想是通过求解广义特征方程得到两个最优超平面,然后通过计算样本到超平面的距离来决定样本所属类别。与传统SVM相比,GEPSVM降低了时间复杂度,但仍存在奇异性等问题。提出了一种新的算法TDMSVM(Twin Distance of Minimum and Maximum Support Vector Machine),其通过求解标准特征方程得到两个最优超平面,使超平面满足到本类样例的平均距离最小化,同时到另一类样例的平均距离最大化。通过理论分析和实验证明,与GEPSVM相比,TDMSVM有以下优势:进一步降低了时间复杂度;不需引入正则项,从而提高了泛化性能;克服了奇异性。
