Abstract

At present, the Bag of Visual Words (BoVW) model has been successfully applied to Image Retrieval and Object Recognition. However, how to build a visual dictionary with high efficiency and low redundancy is still a key issue. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed an improved BoVW model to study the dorsal hand vein recognition problem. Specifically, when constructing a visual dictionary, we first use K-means++ to obtain some clustering center points for each image category, and each center point represents a visual word. Secondly, we combine all the categories of words into a visual dictionary. Finally, we use the mutual information method to eliminate redundancy between words to optimize the visual dictionary. The proposed method was tested on image databases collected under weak constraints, and the results show that the improved model has good robustness, low computational complexity, and the expression of each image category is more prominent, so it can get better performance.
