摘要

In this paper we present an improved Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system based on deep visual features, statistical Feature Re-Weighting, as well as iterative Relevance Feedback to improve retrieval performance. Pretrained ResNetRS-50 model based features are computed and are Re-Weighted by Mutual Information among them. First, search is conducted by cosine similarity and an iterative Relevance Feedback cycle inspired by Rocchio algorithm is employed to refine a query vector. Experiments on the Oxford 17 Flowers dataset show significant improvements on Precision@10 for iterations with respect to the mAP score of 0.91, outperforming previous best results in 8%. Such results highlight the system’s potential to narrow the Semantic Gap, providing a scalable solution for fine-grained image retrieval problems.
