Convolutional sparse coding classification model for image classification

In this paper, we present a novel classification model which combines the convolutional sparse coding framework with the classification strategy. In the training phase, the proposed model trained a convolutional filter bank by all images of each class. In the test phase, the label of test image is determined by all convolutional filter banks. Compared with canonical sparse representation and dictionary learning classification algorithm, more representative information of the corresponding images could be captured by the trained filters, thus better classification performance can be obtained. Experimental results on some image benchmark databases demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.
