Feature combination for binary pattern classification

Abstract

The paper presents a novel framework for large class, binary pattern classification problem by learning-based combination of multiple features. In particular, class of binary patterns including characters/primitives and symbols has been considered in the scope of this work. We demonstrate novel binary multiple kernel learning-based classification architecture for applications including such problems for fast and efficient performance. The character/primitive classification problem primarily concentrates on Gujarati and Bangla character recognition from the analytical and experimental context. A novel feature representation scheme for symbols images is introduced containing the necessary elastic and non-elastic deformation invariance properties. The experimental efficacy of proposed framework for symbol classification has been demonstrated on two public data sets.
