Using Contextual Words for Object Detection

Article Preview

Abstract:

Recent work has shown that classification can benefit saliently from the proper use of contextual cues. In this paper, we present a novel framework by using contextual information to improve object detection. After having detected objects and clustered image regions respectively, we make the statistic spatial relationships between candidate objects and sub-regions of the image, which are composed into a vector of features (termed contextual words). Then, the vectors of all candidates are used to train the probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (pLSA) model. Finally, SVM classifier is employed in object classification. Furthermore, a new direct graphical model by extending pLSA is proposed to introduce more useful information from previous detection process. The experimental results based on a remote-sensing image dataset show that our performances are quite promising.
