Similar image search with a tiny bag-of-delegates representation
Weiwen Tu, Rong Pan, Jingdong Wang · 2012
Similar image search over a large image database has been attracting a lot of attention recently. The widely-used solution is to use a set of codes, which we call bag-of-delegates, to represent each image, and to build inverted indices to organize the image database. The search can be conducted through the inverted indices, which is the same to the way of using texts to index images for search and has been shown to be efficient and effective.
