    Abstract

    Recently, there has been considerable research into the application of deep learning to image recognition. Notably, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved excellent performance in a number of image classification tasks, compared with conventional methods based on techniques such as Bag-of-Features (BoF) using local descriptors. In this paper, to cultivate a better understanding of the structure of CNN, we focus on the characteristics of deep CNNs, and adapt them to SIFT+BoF-based methods to improve the classification accuracy. We introduce the multi-layer structure of CNNs into the classification pipeline of the BoF framework, and conduct experiments to confirm the effectiveness of this approach using a fine-grained visual categorization dataset. The results show that the average classification rate is improved from 52.4% to 69.8%.
