Deep convolutional image retrieval: A general framework

作者:

Highlights:

• This work is able to exploit any kind of available information about the retrieval task, proposing three retraining approaches: The Fully Unsupervised, the Retraining with Relevant Information, and the Relevance Feedback based retraining.

• Combinatory schemes can be deployed, where all the above approaches can be employed in a pipeline.

• A query expansion technique with a spatial verification step is proposed.

• This work uses retargeting for the learning phase, instead of triplet loss, allowing for single sample training which is very fast.
