Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Class of the object: The category or label assigned to an object within an image, such as "cat" or "dog," used for categorization in image classification tasks.

  • Class label: A discrete identifier (e.g., "Car", "Tree") assigned to an object in an image, representing its category or class.

  • Class scores estimation: The process of predicting numerical scores for each class, reflecting the likelihood or confidence that the object belongs to each class, often used to derive the final class label.

  • Global features: Descriptive attributes extracted from the entire image, such as HOGs, LBPs, or Haar wavelets, capturing overall appearance or texture information for classification.

  • Local features: Descriptors derived from specific regions or interest points in the image, such as SIFT + BoVW or SURF + BoVW, capturing local patterns and details relevant for distinguishing objects.
