How to use Bag-of-Words model better for image classification

作者:

Highlights:

• We empirically study coding and pooling under a large range of vocabulary sizes.

• We provide detailed application guidelines to use BoW in practical applications.

• Combined with average pooling, most coding methods are comparable.

• The best performance of max pooling is better than the one of average pooling.

• A saturant point exists in maximum pooling.
