Abstract

Substantial research interest has been observed in the field of object recognition as a vital component for modern intelligent systems. Content based image classification and retrieval have been considered as two popular techniques for identifying the object of interest. Feature extraction has played the pivotal role towards successful implementation of the aforesaid techniques. The paper has presented two novel techniques of feature extraction from diverse image categories both in spatial domain and in frequency domain. The multi view features from the image categories were evaluated for classification and retrieval performances by means of a fusion based recognition architecture. The experimentation was carried out with four different popular public datasets. The proposed fusion framework has exhibited an average increase of 24.71% and 20.78% in precision rates for classification and retrieval respectively, when compared to state-of-the art techniques. The experimental findings were validated with a paired t test for statistical significance.
