Image classification  classifier committees  classifier ensembles  MPEG-7  metric data structures 

We present a system for image classification based on an adaptive committee of five classifiers, each specialized on classifying images based on a single MPEG-7 feature. We test four different ways to set up such a committee, and obtain important accuracy improvements with respect to a baseline in which a single classifier, working an all five features at the same time, is employed.
