Zero-shot learning (ZSL) directs the challenge of classifying unseen test images without explicit training on those samples. ZSL can identify and classify unlabeled images available in abundance by learning from visual and semantic embedding vectors (feature vectors). Information-enriched visual features extracted from images play a crucial role in ZSL. This paper proposes a hybrid feature approach that integrates low-level (LL), and high-level (HL) features extracted from images. Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and Gabor features are employed to obtain LL texture features, while HL features are derived from the ResNet-50 model, renowned for capturing complex hierarchical representations. These hybrid visual features are then mapped with semantic features using linear mapping, where the semantic features are embedding vectors of labels generated by the fastText model. Experiments on the AWA2 and SUN datasets are conducted in a bid to evaluate the proposed approach’s effectiveness. The hybrid feature approach has demonstrated enhanced quality in zero-shot image classification, effectively classifying images that the model has not seen during training.
