Mixture of grouped regressors and its application to visual mapping

作者:

Highlights:

• Mixture of grouped regressors (MoGR) is proposed to tackle overfitting problems of existing Mixture of Regressors methods.

• MoGR partitions the individual regressors in mixture regression model into a number of groups.

• The parameters of each regressor are learned using all data within a group, rather than a cluster.

• MoGR requires a small number of training data and is robust to noise.

• It has shown obviously improved performance when compared with state-of-the-art nonlinear visual mapping methods.
