The rise of multi-million-item dataset initiatives has enabled data-hungry machine learning algorithms to reach near-human semantic classification performance at tasks such as visual object and scene recognition. [] Key Method Using the state-of-the-art Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), we provide scene classification CNNs (Places-CNNs) as baselines, that significantly outperform the previous approaches. Visualization of the CNNs trained on Places shows that object detectors emerge as an intermediate…

Learning Scene Attribute for Scene Recognition

This paper discusses the discrimination of scene attributes in local regions and utilize scene attributes as the complementary features of object and scene features and aggregate these features and generate more discriminative scene representations, which achieve better performance than the feature aggregation ofobject and scene.

Visual Semantic-Based Representation Learning Using Deep CNNs for Scene Recognition

This work proposes an approach for generating pseudo-concepts in the absence of true concept labels using pre-trained deep CNN-based architectures where activation maps (filter responses) from convolutional layers are considered as initial cues to the pseudo- Concept models.

Multi-Level Ensemble Network for Scene Recognition

Multi-Level Ensemble Network (MLEN), a convolutional neural network, has been proposed, to improve the recognition accuracy of these “small object-supported scenes” and a class-weight loss function for the problem of non-uniform class distribution has been designed.
