Abstract
Weather classification using multiple classes is the most sought technique which has many potential applications. It is extremely difficult to get discriminative features from weather images due to diverse nature of weather conditions. In this paper, we have tried to capture the discriminative features by using feature fusion and feature reduction/selection methods. The proposed method uses combination of Histogram of Gradient (HOG) & deep features, feature selection/reduction and classification. Extensive experiments on the benchmark datasets were carried out using various features extraction and selection/reduction methods in conjunction with various classifiers. The extensive experimental evaluation demonstrates fusion of HOG & DenseNet-161 features with linear SVM classifier achieves the best classification accuracy of 99.65% & 95.2% for MCWRD and MWI dataset respectively. Our method has outperformed the state-of-the-art methods for both datasets. Our method is scalable, as it generates variety of solutions. Based on available compute, user can pick & choose the relevant method.
