We present a new supervised image classification method for problems where the data at hand conform to certain deformation models applied to unknown prototypes or templates. The method makes use of the previously described Radon Cumulative Distribution Transform (R-CDT) for image data, whose mathematical properties are exploited to express the image data in a form that is more suitable for machine learning. While certain operations such as translation, scaling, and higher-order transformations are challenging to model in native image space, we show the R-CDT can capture some of these variations and thus render the associated image classification problems easier to solve. The method is simple to implement, non-iterative, has no hyper-parameters to tune, it is computationally efficient, and provides competitive accuracies to state-of-the-art neural networks for many types of classification problems, especially in a learning with few labels setting. Furthermore, we show improvements with respect to neural network-based methods in terms of computational efficiency (it can be implemented without the use of GPUs), number of training samples needed for training, as well as out-of-distribution generalization. The Python code for reproducing our results is available at https://github.com/rohdelab/rcdt_ns_classifier.
