Image retrieval with relevant feedback on large and high-dimensional image databases is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose an image retrieval method, called BCFIR (Binary Codes for Fast Image Retrieval). BCFIR utilizes sparse discriminant analysis to select the most important original feature set, and solve the small class problem in the relevance feedback. Besides, to increase the retrieval performance on large-scale image databases, in addition to BCFIR mapping real-valued features to short binary codes, it also applies a bagging learning strategy to improve the ability general capabilities of autoencoders. In addition, our proposed method also takes advantage of both labeled and unlabeled samples to improve the retrieval precision. The experimental results on three databases demonstrate that the proposed method obtains competitive precision compared with other state-of-the-art image retrieval methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
