Abstract

Image features selection consists on reducing the number of features of an image, used for training or testing a classifier, by eliminating irrelevant, noisy and redundant data without decreasing significantly the prediction accuracy of the classifier. In this paper we consider the problem of feature selection. We give a quick technique dependent on a binary Genetic Algorithm (GA) combined with Neighboring Support Vector Classifier NSVC. More concretely, we utilize the k-Nearest Neighbors KNN classifier as a fitness function for each feature selection decision during the evaluation step of the genetic algorithm. GA-NSVC is implemented and tested on BOSS and MIT-CBCL Face dataset. The results show its robustness and high performances.
