A Indoor/Outdoor/Close-up Photo Classifier

摘要

Annotating images with a description of the content can be useful in processing images, by taking into account the scene depicted. We show here that it is possible to relate low-level visual features to semantic photo categories, such as indoor, outdoor and close-up, using CART classifiers. We have designed and experimentally compared several classification strategies, producing a classifier that can provide a reasonably good performance and on generic photographs no matter how acquired.
