Abstract

Scene classification is an important issue in the field of computer vision. To face this problem we explore in this paper a combination of Holistic Descriptors to scene categorization task. Therefore, we first describe the Contextual Mean Census Transform (CMCT), an image descriptor that combines distribution of local structures with contextual information. CMCT is a holistic descriptor based on CENTRIST and, as CENTRIST, encodes the structural properties within an image and suppresses detailed textural information. Second, we present the GistCMTC, a combination of Contextual Mean Census Transform descriptor with Gist in order to generate a new holistic descriptor representing scenes more accurately. Experimental results on four used datasets demonstrate that the proposed methods could achieve competitive performance against previous methods.
