Abstract: Earth observation (EO) images clustering is a challenging problem in data mining, where each image is represented by a high-dimensional feature vector. However, the feature vectors might not be appropriate to express the semantic content of images, which eventually lead to poor results in clustering and classification. To tackle this problem, we propose an interactive approach to generate compact and informative features from images content. To this end, we utilize a 3-D interactive application to support user-images interactions. These interactions are used in the context of two novel nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) algorithms to generate new features. We assess the quality of new features by applying k-means clustering on the generated features and compare the obtained clustering results with those achieved by original features. We perform experiments on a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image dataset represented by different state-of-the-art features and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Moreover, we propose a divide-and-conquer approach to cluster a massive amount of images using a small subset of interactions.

Fig. 1. (a) the visualization of the clustering result in the CAVE. Images are positioned around their cluster centers based on their distances. A sample image of each cluster is used to depict the cluster center. (b), (c) show user interactions on a desktop. A mis-clustered image is connected to a semantically cluster center by a green line. (d) a mis-clustered image (the image with red border) is connected (green line) to the cluster center of target cluster (with blue border). This interaction updated the semantic similarity matrix W , which is used in our novel NMF algorithms.

Exemplary images of four randomly chosen classes after applying k-means clustering to original features (left column) and the new features obtained by VNMF (middle column) and CMNMF (right column).

TL;DR: It is shown that backfitting --- a traditional non-parametric, yet highly efficient regression tool --- can be derived in a novel formulation within an expectation maximization (EM) framework and thus can finally be given a probabilistic interpretation.
