OTC: A novel local descriptor for scene classification

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Scene classification is the task of determining the scene type in which a photograph was taken. In this paper we present a novel local descriptor suited for such a task: Oriented Texture Curves (OTC). Our descriptor captures the texture of a patch along multiple orientations, while maintaining robustness to illumination changes, geometric distortions and local contrast differences. We show that our descriptor outperforms all state-of-the-art descriptors for scene classification algorithms on the most extensive scene classification benchmark to-date.
