ABSTRACT
In this paper, we draw an analogy between image retrieval and text retrieval and propose a visual phrase-based approach to retrieve images containing desired objects. The visual phrase is defined as a pair of adjacent local image patches and is constructed using data mining. We devise methods on how to construct visual phrases from images and how to encode the visual phrase for indexing and retrieval. Our experiments demonstrate that visual phrase-based retrieval approach can be very efficient and can be 20% more effective than its visual word-based counterpart.

Constructing visual phrases for effective and efficient object-based image retrieval
The explosion of multimedia data necessitates effective and efficient ways for us to get access to our desired ones. In this article, we draw an analogy between image retrieval and text retrieval and propose a visual phrase-based approach to retrieve ...
Toward a higher-level visual representation for object-based image retrieval
We propose a higher-level visual representation, visual synset, for object-based image retrieval beyond visual appearances. The proposed visual representation improves the traditional part-based bag-of-words image representation, in two aspects. First, ...

MMM 2014: Proceedings of the 20th Anniversary International Conference on MultiMedia Modeling - Volume 8326Spatial information plays an essential role in accurate matching of local features in applications, e.g., image retrieval. Despite of previous work, it remains a challenging problem to extract appropriate spatial information. We propose an image ...
