Is it possible to use logistic regression for image classification?

Hi!

My group in machine learning class is working on an image classfication project using Matlab. The dataset is from Kaggle: https://www.kaggle.com/crawford/deepsat-sat4. There are several methods we wanted to try: logistic regression, CNN, and SVM. We are both new to Matlab, and the instructor did not help much with this tool.

My question is: Is it possible to do the image classification with logistic regression? I did a lot of search, and thought maybe I can use "mnrfit". However, I never used image data in matlab, not sure how to start.

Could anyone provide some advice on this? Is this a right direction to go? Thank you!

Yes, it is possible. At worst you would reshape the image to a vector. The question becomes how well it works.

You might do better with extracting features and running the regression on them.
