information from a single image
Paper“SUN Attribute Database: Discovering, Annotating, and Recognizing Scene Attributes” ——James Hays 2012.
Classifier Scene understanding and recognition
Paper Highlight
Image classification based on scene attributes Average precision reaches about 95%
Difficulty Attribute extraction significantly How to obtain high precision in large-scale sense
condition Value
Building a “SUN Attribute Database” Scene understanding Scene recognition
