Abstract

Image classification is an important issue in pattern recognition, the high dimension features is a challenging task since only a few number of them are effective in classification. To improve the classification efficiency, it is necessary to reduce the dimensionality of image features before classification. This study provides a novel image classification application based on Bacterial Colony Optimization, which can decreases the computation burden and improves the classification's efficiency. Specifically, the elimination strategy in original algorithm is removed, and the communication, chemotaxis, migration, and reproduction strategies are kept. Additionally, the communication and chemotaxis step size of the Bacterial Colony Optimization are modified for feature selection in image classification. Several comparision experiments on two public image datasets are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the method. Experimental results prove that the method can greatly improve the classification accuracy and efficiency.
