N2 - The success of sparse representations in image modeling and recovery has motivated its use in computer vision applications. Image retrieval and classification tasks require extracting features that discriminate different image classes. State-of-the-art object recognition methods based on sparse coding use spatial pyramid features obtained from dense descriptors. In this paper, we develop a feature extraction method that uses multiple global/local features extracted from large overlapping regions of an image, which we refer to as sub-images. We propose a procedure for dictionary design and supervised local sparse coding of sub-image heterogeneous features. We perform image retrieval on the Microsoft Research Cambridge image dataset and show that the proposed features outperform the spatial pyramid features obtained using dense descriptors.
