Abstract:

A scene image is generally composed of some foreground objects and background contexts with a certain spatial layout. Due to different scales, viewpoints, and backgrounds, there exists large intra-class variation within the same scene class. On the other hand, the common objects also result in a certain inter-class similarities among heterogeneous scenes as well. Consequently, the multi-scale space encoding based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) for scene representation is proposed in the study, which combines multi-scale dense sampling method, CNN algorithm, and multi-scale space encoding method. The multi-scale encoding method spatially partitions the sampling grid many times, and then aggregates the CNN features within sub-regions with different shapes for generating the multi-scale space VLAD. The experiment is carried out on the Scene15 scene dataset, and the test results show that the test accuracy reaches 94.67%.
