Description
State-of-the-art image retrieval systems typically represent an image with a bag of
low-level features. Since different images often exhibit different kinds of low-level characteristics,
it is desirable to represent an image with multiple types of complementary
features. The systems scalability is, however, significantly lowered when increasing the
number of feature types, as the amount of data is also increased rapidly both in index and
in query representation.
In this paper, we apply sparse coding to derive a compact yet discriminative image
representation from multiple types of features for large-scale image retrieval. We first
convert each feature descriptor into a sparse code, and aggregate each type of sparsecoded
features into a single vector by max-pooling. Multiple vectors from different types
of features are then concatenated and compressed to obtain the final representation. Our
approach allows us to add more types of features to improve discriminability without sacrificing
scalability. In particular, we design a new micro feature which is complementary
to existing local invariant features. By combining our micro feature with various local
invariant features using the sparse-coding framework, our final compact representation
outperforms the state of the art both in retrieval performance and in scalability.
