MESH : a flexible manifold-embedded semantic hashing for cross-modal retrieval
Hashing based methods for cross-modal retrieval has been widely explored in recent years. However, most of them mainly focus on the preservation of neighborhood relationship and label consistency, while ignore the proximity of neighbors and proximity of classes, which degrades the discrimination of hash codes. And most of them learn hash codes and hashing functions simultaneously, which limits the flexibility of algorithms. To address these issues, in this article, we propose a two-step cross-modal retrieval method named Manifold-Embedded Semantic Hashing (MESH). It exploits Local Linear Embedding to model the neighborhood proximity and uses class semantic embeddings to consider the proximity of classes. By so doing, MESH can not only extract the manifold structure in different modalities, but also can embed the class semantic information into hash codes to further improve the discrimination of learned hash codes. Moreover, the two-step scheme makes MESH flexible to various hashing functions. Extensive experimental results on three datasets show that MESH is superior to 10 state-of-the-art cross-modal hashing methods. Moreover, MESH also demonstrates superiority on deep features compared with the deep cross-modal hashing method. © 2013 IEEE
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
Hashing for Similarity Search: A Survey
Similarity search (nearest neighbor search) is a problem of pursuing the data
items whose distances to a query item are the smallest from a large database.
Various methods have been developed to address this problem, and recently a lot
of efforts have been devoted to approximate search. In this paper, we present a
survey on one of the main solutions, hashing, which has been widely studied
since the pioneering work locality sensitive hashing. We divide the hashing
algorithms two main categories: locality sensitive hashing, which designs hash
functions without exploring the data distribution and learning to hash, which
learns hash functions according the data distribution, and review them from
various aspects, including hash function design and distance measure and search
scheme in the hash coding space
