## Bag-of-words histogram quantisation of descriptor vectors
-An example histogram for training image shown on figure \ref{fig:histo_tr}, computed with a vocubulary size of 100. A corresponding testing image of the same class is shown in figure \ref{fig:histo_te}. The histograms appear to have similar counts for the same words, demonstrating they had a descriptors which matched the *keywowrds* in similar proportions. We later look at the effect of the vocubalary size (as determined by the number of K-mean centroids) on the classificaiton accuracy in figure \ref{fig:km_vocsize}. A small vocabulary size turns out to misrepresent the information contained in the different patches, resulting in poor classification accuracy. When the vocabulary size gets too big (too many k-mean centroids), the result is instead overfitting. Figure \ref{fig:km_vocsize} shows a plateau after 60 cluster centers.

The time complexity of quantisation with a K-means codebooks is $O(n^{dk+1})$ , where n is the number of entities to be clustered, d is the dimension and k is the cluster count @cite[km-complexity]. As the computation time is high, the tests we use a subsample of descriptors to compute the centroids. An alternative method we tried is applying PCA to the descriptors vecotrs to improve time performance. However in this case the descriptors' size is relatively small, and for such reason we opted to avoid PCA for further training.
