> Fisher vectors provide a vocabulary-based encoding for images (see https://hal.inria.fr/hal-00830491/file/journal.pdf). This representation is useful due to reduced dimensionality, providing regularization as well as increased scalability.
> An implementation of FVs in Spark ML should provide a way to both train a GMM vocabulary (as an {{estimator}}) as well compute Fisher kernel encodings of provided images (as a {{transformer}}). The vocabulary trainer can be implemented as a standalone GMM pipeline. The feature transformer can be implemented as a org.apache.spark.ml.UnaryTransformer. It should accept a vocabulary (Array[Array[Double]]) as well as an image (Array[Double]) and produce the Fisher kernel encoding (Array[Double]).
> See Enceval (http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/software/enceval_toolkit/) for a reference implementation in MATLAB/C++.
