Title:  Large-scale Visual Search

Abstract:

With the emergence of massive social multimedia data and prevalence of mobile visual search applications, techniques towards large-scale visual search and recognition are desired. Recent decade has witnessed the fast advance of large-scale image search, thanks to introduction of bag-of-visual-words model based on local invariant features and the scalable index structure. Generally, an image search system is involved with several key modules, including feature extraction, visual codebook learning, feature quantization, index strategy, scoring scheme, and post processing. Besides, post-processing techniques, such as geometric verification, query expansion and multi-modal fusion, can be plugged in to boost the retrieval performance.

In the first part of the talk, I will make an overview of large-scale visual search and discuss two milestones. In the second part, I will figure out four key problems on visual feature representation, feature quantization, image indexing, and post-processing in the framework of image search. To address those problems, we have conducted comprehensive work. I will introduce our recent representative works and show the related demos. On feature representation, we have developed a set of binary features, including USB, COGE, etc, and designed a new regional feature. On feature quantization, I will introduce our work on codebook learning and efficient quantization. On image indexing, a series of our recently proposed indexing schemes will be introduced, such as cross-index, coupled multi-index, super-image index, cascade category-aware index. Last but not least, on post-processing, I will introduce our work on geometric verification and query expansion. In the third part, I will make a summarization and discuss the potential applications.
