Evaluation of Random Forests on large-scale classification problems using a Bag-of-Visual-Words representation

Abstract. Random Forest is a very efficient classification method that has shown success in tasks like image segmentation or object detection, but has not been ap-plied yet in large-scale image classification scenarios using a Bag-of-Visual-Words representation. In this work we evaluate the performance of Random Forest on the ImageNet dataset, and compare it to standard approaches in the state-of-the-art
