摘　　要：空间金字塔模型由于其优势在当前图像分类中得到了广泛应用。然而,其码本生成和特征量化这两个环节具有较高的计算复杂度。为了解决这个问题,提出了一种新的局部特征表述———梯度方向二进制模式,首先对图像稠密采样得到多个子图像块,再将每个子图像块均匀划分为2×2个网格,计算每个网格的梯度直方图,然后对所有网格的梯度主方向进行二进制编码并连接为二进制串值,该二进制串值转换的十进制数即为子图像块的特征表述,最后将该特征表述嵌入到SPM模型中。在标准分类数据库上的实验结果证明了本方法在算法耗时和分类精度上均优于基于SIFT的SPM方法。Recently spatial pyramid matching（ SPM） with scale invariant feature transform（ SIFT） descriptor has been successfully used in image classification. Unfortunately,the codebook generation and feature quantization procedures using SIFT feature have the high complexity both in time and space. To address this problem,a feature descriptor called Binary Pattern of Oriented Gradients is presented. Firstly,the input image was densely sampled and divided into small uniform image patches. Secondly,each patch was divided into 2＊ 2 grids uniformly. For all grids the histograms of oriented gradient were computed and all dominant directions of the histograms were coded by binary coding. Then the descriptor was generated by converting the binary number to decimal number. Finally,this descriptor was combined in the spatial pyramid domain. Experiments on popular benchmark dataset demonstrate that the proposed method always significantly outperforms the popular SPM based SIFT descriptor method both in time and classification accuracy.
