Abstract: | This study addresses the problem of choosing the most suitable probabilistic model selection criterion for unsupervised learning
of visual context of a dynamic scene using mixture models. A rectified Bayesian Information Criterion (BICr) and a Completed
Likelihood Akaike’s Information Criterion (CL-AIC) are formulated to estimate the optimal model order (complexity) for a given
visual scene. Both criteria are designed to overcome poor model selection by existing popular criteria when the data sample
size varies from small to large and the true mixture distribution kernel functions differ from the assumed ones. Extensive
experiments on learning visual context for dynamic scene modelling are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of BICr
and CL-AIC, compared to that of existing popular model selection criteria including BIC, AIC and Integrated Completed Likelihood
(ICL). Our study suggests that for learning visual context using a mixture model, BICr is the most appropriate criterion given
sparse data, while CL-AIC should be chosen given moderate or large data sample sizes. |
