Aiming at the improvement of the accuracy and efficiency of artistic paintings classification algorithm, this paper puts forward a style painting classification algorithm based on information entropy. Firstly, seven representative painting styles, including cartoons, sketches, oil paintings, watercolor paintings, and art painting styles of Chinese pyrography, ink painting and murals, were selected as the research objectives, and the images are pre-processed by denoising and normalization. Secondly, we extracted the style features of painting images and obtain the color entropy, block entropy and contour entropy respectively. Then, the algorithm combined the information entropy of different input painting styles. During the calculation of the information entropy, the color space was transformed from RGB to LAB, and the image color entropy was obtained from a and b channel values and weighting functions. By dividing the artistic images into blocks, we calculated the average entropy of all the blocks to obtain block entropy. Contourlet transform was used to obtain the contour information of artistic images, and we obtained contour entropy. After that, color entropy, block entropy and contour entropy were merged and extracted, and support vector machine (SVM) was applied to train the artistic style image to obtain the classification model of artistic paintings. Finally, we extracted the entropy characteristics of the samples to be identified, and obtained the final classification results by SVM. The method proposed has the advantages of less feature dimension, fast operation and scale invariance. The experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the classification accuracy and efficiency of different painting styles.
