Some code are from:

S. Lazebnik, C. Schmid, and J. Ponce, "Beyond Bags of Features: Spatial 
Pyramid Matching for Recognizing Natural Scene Categories," CVPR 2006.

========================================================================

Use:
1, follow labes/readme to prepare data
2, go to libsvm/: make
3, modify ini.m: rootpath=your demo path, and then run main.m.


The BOW and Dictionary is in the dir:/data/global, size of BOW_sift.mat is (DictionarySize * #images).
Size of dictionary.mat is (DictionarySize *  dim of features).spatial_pyramid.mat is the Spatial Pyramid BoW.


In /data/local is the sift features for each images. 

========================================================================
Classification using BOW rbf_svm
Accuracy = 76.6667% (92/120) (classification)

Classification using histogram intersection kernel svm
Accuracy = 81.6667% (98/120) (classification)

Classification using Pyramid BOW rbf_svm
Accuracy = 82.5% (99/120) (classification)

Classification using Pyramid BOW histogram intersection kernel svm
Accuracy = 90% (108/120) (classification)
