In order to effectively solve the problems of high error rate, long time consuming, and low accuracy of feature extraction in current painting image classification methods, a painting image classification method based on transfer learning and feature fusion was proposed. The global characteristics of the painting picture, such as color, texture, and form, are extracted. The SIFT method is used to extract the painting’s local features, and the global and local characteristics are normalized and merged. The painting images are preliminarily classified using the result of feature fusion, the deterministic and nondeterministic samples are divided, and the estimated Gaussian model parameters are transferred to the target domain via a transfer learning algorithm to alter the distribution of nondeterministic samples, completing the painting image classification. Experimental results show that the proposed method has a low error rate and low feature extraction time and a high accuracy rate of painting image classification.
