Abstract:
1. A method for reducing the required footprints associated with classifiers, said method comprising: employing classifier weights associated with SNoW classifiers from a SNoW classifier training cycle to rank utilizing particular criteria features comprising SMQT features; selecting at least one top feature among said SMQT features; repeating said SNoW classifier training cycle using only said at least one top feature in order to thereafter determine if additional features among said SMQT features should be included or excluded to reduce said footprints associated with said SNoW classifiers; and wherein a size of said SNoW classifiers is compressed in order to identify important features among said features and wherein for each pixel location said classifier weights are assigned to each of said features as part of said SNoW classifier training cycle and wherein during a recognition phase only feature among said features is active at said each pixel location based on an SMQT bit pattern in a location neighborhood and wherein a sum of active classifier weights among said classifier weights is employed to determine a resultant class label for a test image.
