Applying multi-class SVMs into scene image classification

Grouping images into semantically meaningful categories using the low-level visual features is a challenging and important problem in content-based image retrieval and other applications. In this paper, we show a specific high-level classification problem (scene images classification) using the low level features such as representative colors and Gabor textures. Based on the low level features, we introduce the multi-class SVMs to merge these features with the final goal to classify the different scene images. Experimental results show our method is promising.
