Reject option for VQ-based Bayesian classification

Abstract
We have developed a reject option for VQ-based supervised Bayesian classification to improve classification accuracy by sieving out patterns that are classified with a low confidence value. A small codebook extracted from a learning vector quantizer (LVQ) is used to estimate the class-conditional densities of the feature vector. We adapt the two commonly used rejection criteria, outlier rejection and ambiguity rejection, for the VQ-based Bayesian classifiers. Using three high-level image...
