Indoor/Outdoor Classification with Multiple Experts

Indoor/outdoor classification is a fundamental step toward scene understanding. When data become more diverse, traditional approaches are not able to efficiently provide robust performance. In this chapter, we will firstly review the weakness of existing approaches and then propose a systematic machine-learning approach, Expert Decision Fusion (EDF) to obtain robust classification performance.
