N2 - This paper proposes a method to recognize scene categories using bags of visual words obtained hierarchically partitioning into subregion the input images. Specifically, for each subregions the Texton histogram and the extension of the sub-region is taken into account. The bags of visual words, obtained in this way, are weighted and used in a similarity measure during the categorization. Experimental tests using ten different scene categories show that the proposed approach achieves good performances with respect to the state of the art methods.
