In state-of-the-art image retrieval systems, an image is
represented by a bag of visual words obtained by quantizing
high-dimensional local image descriptors, and scalable
schem...

In recent years, some computer vision algorithms such as SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) have been employed in image similarity match to perform image-based search applic...
—In this paper we present a scalable and distributed system for image retrieval based on visual features and annotated text. This system is the core of the SAPIR project. Its arc...
