Efficient large-scale image search with a vocabulary tree

The task of searching and recognizing objects in images has become an important research topic in the area of image processing and computer vision. Looking for similar images in large datasets given an input query and responding as fast as possible is a very challenging task. In this work the Bag of...

description The task of searching and recognizing objects in images has become an important research topic in the area of image processing and computer vision. Looking for similar images in large datasets given an input query and responding as fast as possible is a very challenging task.

Images are described using local invariant descriptor techniques and then indexed in a database using an inverted index for further queries. The descriptors are quantized according to a visual vocabulary, creating sparse vectors, which allows to compute very efficiently, for each query, a ranking of similarity for indexed images.
