Abstract

We present an approach for image retrieval using a very large number of highly selective features. Our approach is predicated on the assumption that each image is generated by a sparse set of visual “causes” and that images which are visually similar share causes. We propose a mechanism for computing a very large number of highly selective features which capture some aspects of this causal structure. At query time a user selects a few test images, and a technique known as “boosting” is used to learn a classification function in this feature space. By construction, the boosting procedure learns a simple classifier which only relies on 15 of the features. As a result a very large database of images can be scanned rapidly. Finally we will describe a set of experiments performed using our retrieval system on a Caltech database.
