This paper proposes a method to recognize scene categories using bags of visual words obtained by hierarchically partitioning into subregion the input images. Specifically for each subregion the Textons distribution and the extension of the corresponding subregion are taken into account. The bags of visual words computed on the subregions are weighted and used to represent the whole scene. The classification of scenes is carried out by discriminative methods . SVM KNN . A similarity measure based on Bhattacharyya coefficient is proposed to establish similarities between images represented as hierarchy of bags of visual words. Experimental tests using fifteen different scene categories show that the proposed approach achieves good performances with respect to the state-of-the-art methods. 1. Introduction The automatic recognition of the context of a scene is a useful task for many relevant computer vision applications such as object detection and recognition 1 content-based image retrieval CBIR 2 or bootstrap learning to select the advertising to be sent by Multimedia Messaging Service MMS 3 4 . Existing methods work on extracting local concepts directly on spatial domain 2 5-7 or frequency domain 8 9
