Abstract:

Image classification aims to group images into corresponding semantic categories. Due to the difficulties of interclass similarity and intraclass variability, it is a challenging issue in computer vision. In this paper, an unsupervised feature learning approach called convolutional denoising sparse autoencoder (CDSAE) is proposed based on the theory of visual attention mechanism and deep learning methods. Firstly, saliency detection method is utilized to get training samples for unsupervised feature learning. Next, these samples are sent to the denoising sparse autoencoder (DSAE), followed by convolutional layer and local contrast normalization layer. Generally, prior in a specific task is helpful for the task solution. Therefore, a new pooling strategy—spatial pyramid pooling (SPP) fused with center-bias prior—is introduced into our approach. Experimental results on the common two image datasets (STL-10 and CIFAR-10) demonstrate that our approach is effective in image classification. They also demonstrate that none of these three components: local contrast normalization, SPP fused with center-prior, and vector normalization can be excluded from our proposed approach. They jointly improve image representation and classification performance.
