Abstract
A system and method classify a test image. At least one processor receives a data graph computed from the test image. Further, a graph lattice is received. The graph lattice includes a plurality of nodes, each including a subgraph, a weight and at least one mapping of the subgraph to data graphs of a plurality of training images. The training images correspond to a plurality of classes. The data graph of the test image is mapped by the subgraphs of the nodes. Mappings between the graph lattice and the data graphs of the training images are compared with mappings between the graph lattice and the data graph of the test image to determine weighted votes of similarity between the data graphs of the training images and the data graph of the test image. The class of the test image is determined from the weighted votes.
