This paper addresses the problem of ordering the color SIFT descriptors in the independent component analysis for image classification. Component ordering is of great importance for image classification, since it is the foundation of the feature selection. To select the distinctive and compact independent components of the color SIFT descriptors, we propose two ordering approaches based on local variation, named as the localization-based ICs ordering and the sparseness-based ICs ordering. We evaluate the performance of proposed methods, the conventional ICs selection method (global variation based components selection) and original color SIFT descriptors on object and scene databases, and obtain the following two main results. First, the proposed methods are able to obtain the acceptable classification results in comparison with original color SIFT descriptors. Second, the highest classification rate can be obtained by using the global selection method in the scene database, while the local ordering methods give the best performance for the object database.
