Deep Image Retrieval: A Survey
In recent years a vast amount of visual content has been generated and shared
from various fields, such as social media platforms, medical images, and
robotics. This abundance of content creation and sharing has introduced new
challenges. In particular, searching databases for similar content, i.e.content
based image retrieval (CBIR), is a long-established research area, and more
efficient and accurate methods are needed for real time retrieval. Artificial
intelligence has made progress in CBIR and has significantly facilitated the
process of intelligent search. In this survey we organize and review recent
CBIR works that are developed based on deep learning algorithms and techniques,
including insights and techniques from recent papers. We identify and present
the commonly-used benchmarks and evaluation methods used in the field. We
collect common challenges and propose promising future directions. More
specifically, we focus on image retrieval with deep learning and organize the
state of the art methods according to the types of deep network structure, deep
features, feature enhancement methods, and network fine-tuning strategies. Our
survey considers a wide variety of recent methods, aiming to promote a global
view of the field of instance-based CBIR.Comment: 20 pages, 11 figure
Horizontal Pyramid Matching for Person Re-identification
Despite the remarkable recent progress, person re-identification (Re-ID)
approaches are still suffering from the failure cases where the discriminative
body parts are missing. To mitigate such cases, we propose a simple yet
effective Horizontal Pyramid Matching (HPM) approach to fully exploit various
partial information of a given person, so that correct person candidates can be
still identified even even some key parts are missing. Within the HPM, we make
the following contributions to produce a more robust feature representation for
the Re-ID task: 1) we learn to classify using partial feature representations
at different horizontal pyramid scales, which successfully enhance the
discriminative capabilities of various person parts; 2) we exploit average and
max pooling strategies to account for person-specific discriminative
information in a global-local manner. To validate the effectiveness of the
proposed HPM, extensive experiments are conducted on three popular benchmarks,
including Market-1501, DukeMTMC-ReID and CUHK03. In particular, we achieve mAP
scores of 83.1%, 74.5% and 59.7% on these benchmarks, which are the new
state-of-the-arts. Our code is available on GithubComment: Accepted by AAAI 201
