Abstract Using a single image feature to describe the image content is one-sided because of the insufficient information. Besides, the single coding method usually loses the spatial information. To solve these problems, an approach of integrating multi-features and sparse coding methods is proposed. Images are firstly divided into sub regions according to the spatial pyramid, and then the complementary advantages of scale invariant feature transform and the histogram of oriented gradients features are combined to produce various feature sets. Then, different clustering methods are used on different feature sets to acquire different codebooks. Next, two sparse coding methods, locality constrained linear coding and sparse coding based on each codebook are further employed respectively to get various image description sets. Finally, linear support vector machines are applied to image classification, and a voting method is used to determine the final classification. Experimental results show that the proposed method has good accuracy and robustness compared with some state-of-the-art methods.
