Accelerated Kmeans Clustering Using Binary Random Projection

摘要

Codebooks have been widely used for image retrieval and image indexing, which are the core elements of mobile visual searching. Building a vocabulary tree is carried out offline, because the clustering of a large amount of training data takes a long time. Recently proposed adaptive vocabulary trees do not require offline training, but suffer from the burden of online computation. The necessity for clustering high dimensional large data has arisen in offline and online training. In this paper, we present a novel clustering method to reduce the burden of computation without losing accuracy. Feature selection is used to reduce the computational complexity with high dimensional data, and an ensemble learning model is used to improve the efficiency with a large number of data. We demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the-state of the art approaches in terms of computational complexity on various synthetic and real datasets.
