This paper targets to bring together the research efforts on two fields that are growing actively in the past few years: multicamera person Re-Identification (ReID) and large-scale image retrieval. We demonstrate that the essentials of image retrieval and person ReID are the same, i.e., measuring the similarity between images. However, person ReID requires more discriminative and robust features to...
We propose a promising method of geometric verification to improve the precision of Bag-of-Words (BoW) model in image retrieval. Most previous methods focus on the positions of interest points or the absolute differences of regions' scales and angles. In contrast, our method, named Region Similarity Arrangement (RSA), exploits the spatial arrangement of interest regions. For each image, RSA constructs...
In recent years, VLAD has become a popular method which encoding powerful local descriptors to the compact representations. By using this approach, an image can be represented by just a few dozen bytes while preserving excellent retrieval results after the dimensionality reduction and compression. However, throwing away the spatial information is one of the biggest weaknesses of VLAD. This paper adopts...
Spatial matching for object retrieval is often time-consuming and susceptible to viewpoint changes. To address this problem, we propose a novel spatial matching method and implement it on modern GPU in parallel. Unlike previous spatial matching methods, in which the affine transformation estimation is based on the gravity vector assumption, our method abandons this strong assumption by matching the...
Spatial matching for visual words based object retrieval often involves generating affine transformation hypotheses and then choosing the best hypothesis to measure the spatial consistency. In existing methods, generating an affine transformation hypothesis either requires three correspondences or assumes images are taken in restricted range of viewpoints in using a single correspondence. In this...
Spatial relation of local image patches plays an important role in object-based image retrieval. An approach called spatial frequent items is proposed as an extension of Bag-of-Words method by introducing spatial relations between patches. Spatial frequent items are defined as frequent pairs of adjacent local image patches in polar coordinates, and exploited using data mining. Based on these frequent...
