A Probabilistic Analysis of Sparse Coded Feature Pooling and Its Application for Image Retrieval.

Feature coding and pooling as a key component of image retrieval have been widely studied over the past several years. Recently sparse coding with max-pooling is regarded as the state-of-the-art for image classification. However there is no comprehensive study concerning the application of sparse co...
