Description
A simple approach to classifying images is to treat them as a collection of regions, describing only their appearance and igorning their spatial structure. Similar models have been successfully used in the text community for analyzing documents and are known as "bag-of-words" models, since each document is represented by a distribution over fixed vocabulary(s). Using such a representation, methods such as probabalistic latent semantic analysis (pLSA) and latent dirichlet allocation (LDA) are able to extract coherent topics within document collections in an unsupervised manner.
