Human’s brain is an excellent photo analysis tool and is good at handling high-level information, such as facial recognition. • High-level information A lot of high-level information to do the indoor/ outdoor classification: Brightness, Background, People, Ground, etc. Motivation:
However, human’s brain is not quite convenient for mass data analysis. • will get tired after long run • very expensive In the meanwhile, computers are still indispensable for the analysis of mass data. But not quite efficient for the high-level information. Motivation (Cont.): When processing mass data, can we utilize the low-level information for classification?
Method: • 119 indoor photos and 102 outdoor photos were collected.
Can you tell the differences between these two photos? Low-level Information: The ‘average photo’ for indoor photos The ‘average photo’ for outdoor photos
for Indoor photos for Outdoor photos Big Difference Low-level Information (Cont): Some Difference Almost the Same
It is no good to use the whole color matrix to compute the means and stds. Sampling Method: low efficiency Photos have different sizes. So the sizes of the color matrix would be different.
Uniformly sampling: sample size N = 10,000 Sampling Method (Cont):
Sampling Method (Cont): A natural question: is the information indeed uniformly distributed on the photos?
Sampling Method (Cont): Non-uniformly sampling: sample size N = 10,000
Classification • Method • Logistic regression • SVM • Mixture Gaussian • Samples • Uniform sampling • Non-uniform sampling
Future work • Improving sampling method • Sample points based on histogram (most frequent values). • Seeking effective features • We now use purely linear features. Try other feature mapping.
