Adaptive Processing of Tree-Structure Image Representation
Much research on image analysis and processing has been carried out for the last few decades. However, it is still challenging to represent the image contents effectively and satisfactorily. In this paper, a segmentation-free tree-structure image representation is presented. In order to learn the structure representation, a back-propagation through structure (BPTS) algorithm is adopted. Experiments on plant image classification and retrieval refining using only six visual features were conducted on a plant image database and a natural scene image database, respectively. Encouraging results have been achieved.
