Abstract
The paper presents a supervised discriminative dictionary learning algorithm specially designed for classifying HEp-2 cell patterns. The proposed algorithm is an extension of the popular K-SVD algorithm: at the training phase, it takes into account the discriminative power of the dictionary atoms and reduces their intra-class reconstruction error during each update. Meanwhile, their inter-class reconstruction effect is also considered. Compared to the existing extension of K-SVD, the proposed algorithm is more robust to parameters and has better discriminative power for classifying HEp-2 cell patterns. Quantitative evaluation shows that the proposed algorithm outperforms general object classification algorithms significantly on standard HEp-2 cell patterns classifying benchmark11An early version of this algorithm ranks 2nd out of 28 algorithms in the 1st international contest on HEp-2 Cells classification [1]. and also achieves competitive performance on standard natural image classification benchmark.
