Image Classification: A Computer Vision Task
摘要
Computer vision retrieves knowledge from pictures. Image classification is an important part of this. In this chapter, you will learn that image classification is an integral part of many problems from computer vision and influences the solutions of many more. We will discuss why image classification is a difficult problem and what are the causes for it. Finally, image classification will be formulated as sequence of steps to find a mapping from an image to a label that represents the meaning of the image. We will introduce the concept of a feature space to represent image characteristics and define classification as feature space partitioning.
