Abstract
In this paper, vocabulary tree based large-scale image retrieval scheme is proposed that can achieve higher accuracy and speed. The novelty of this paper can be summarized as follows. First, because traditional Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) descriptors are excessively concentrated in some areas of images, the extraction process of SIFT features is optimized to reduce the number. Then, combined with optimized-SIFT, color histogram in Hue, Saturation, Value (HSV) color space is extracted to be another image feature. Moreover, Local Fisher Discriminant Analysis (LFDA) is applied to reduce the dimension of SIFT and color features, which will help to shorten feature-clustering time. Finally, dimension-reduced features are used to generate vocabulary trees which will be used for large-scale image retrieval. The experimental results on several image datasets show that, the proposed method can achieve satisfying retrieval precision.
