Abstract

The invention discloses an image retrieval method and device, and belongs to the field of image processing. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining the feature vector of each seed image, wherein the feature vector is composed of multi-level features of the seed image extracted from a neural network; generating at least one visual word of each seed image according to the feature vector of each seed image, wherein the at least one visual word is used for expressing the semantic of each seed image; and obtaining at least one seed image and at least one feature vector of each visual word according to the feature vector of each seed image and the at least one visual word, and carrying out image retrieval. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the seed image is regarded as the set of the visual words, the feature vector of the seed image is obtained, at least one visual word is generated according to the feature vector, the at least one visual word is used for expressing the semantic of the seed image, and when carrying out the image retrieval based on the visual word, the retrieval accuracy is improved, and the retrieval demand of a user can be satisfied.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of image processing, in particular to a method and device for image retrieval. Background technique [0002] In order to meet the visual needs of users, a lot of current information is in picture format. The computer can recognize the visual information of the picture, such as the color, shape, grayscale distribution of the picture, etc. When the user initiates a picture retrieval command, the computer can perform picture retrieval according to the visual information of the picture, such as learning the picture according to the visual information of the picture. The low-level features of the low-level features are combined into high-level features, and the high-level features of each existing picture are matched to retrieve pictures similar to the pictures specified by the user. [0003] In the process of realizing the present invention, the inventor found the following problems in the prior art: when performing imag...
