A B S T R A C T Metric learning aims to learn an appropriate distance metric for a given machine learning task. Despite its impressive performance in the field of image recognition, it may still not be discriminative enough for scene recognition because of the high within-class diversity and high between-class similarity of scene images. In this paper, we propose a novel class-specific discriminative metric learning method (CSDML) to alleviate these problems. More specifically, we learn a distinctive linear transformation for each class (or, equivalently, a Mahalanobis distance metric for each class), which allows to project the samples of that class into a corresponding low-dimensional discriminative space. The overall aim is to simultaneously minimize the Euclidean distances between the projections of samples of the same class (or, equivalently, the Mahalanobis distances between these samples) and maximize the Euclidean distances between the projections of samples of different classes. Additionally, we incorporate least squares regression into the optimization problem, rendering class-specific metric learning more flexible and better suited to tackle scene recognition. Experimental results on four benchmark scene datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms most of the state-of-the-art approaches. (c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
