Image Retrieval Using Image Context Vectors.

摘要

Searching image databases using image queries is a challenging problem. For the analogous problem with text, those document retrieval methods that use 'superficial' information, such as word count statistics, generally outperform natural language understanding approaches. This motivates an exploration of 'superficial' feature-based methods for image retrieval. The main strategy is to avoid full image understanding, or even segmentation.
