Similarity Search in a Large Scale

S. Benkrama, L. Zaoui

Abstract



In this paper, we address the subject of large image database indexing for content-based retrieval. We investigate how high-dimensional indexing methods can be used in a partitioned space into clusters to help the design of an efficient and robust CBIR scheme.
We develop a new method for efficient clustering is used for structuring objects in the feature space; this method allows dividing the database into data groups according to their similarity, in function of the parameter threshold and vocabulary size. A comparative study is presented between the proposed method and a set of classification methods. The experiments results on the Pascal Visual Object Classes challenges (VOC) of 2007 and Caltech-256 dataset show that our method significantly improves the performance. Experimental retrieval results based on the precision/recall measures show interesting results.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information.
