Abstract-This paper proposes an image classification method based on extracting image features using Haar random forests and combining them with a spatial matching kernel SVM. The method works by combining multiple efficient, yet powerful, learning algorithms at every stage of the recognition process. On the task of identifying aquatic stonefly larvae, the method has state-of-the-art or better performance, but with much higher efficiency.
