A novel image retrieval algorithm based on PHOG and LSH

Abstract

PHOG can describe the local shape of the image and its relationship between the spaces. The using of PHOG algorithm to extract image features in image recognition and retrieval and other aspects have achieved good results. In recent years, locality sensitive hashing (LSH) algorithm has been superior to large-scale data in solving near-nearest neighbor problems compared with traditional algorithms. This paper presents a novel image retrieval algorithm based on PHOG and LSH. First, we use PHOG to extract the feature vector of the image, then use L different LSH hash table to reduce the dimension of PHOG texture to index values and map to different bucket, and finally extract the corresponding value of the image in the bucket for second image retrieval using Manhattan distance. This algorithm can adapt to the massive image retrieval, which ensures the high accuracy of the image retrieval and reduces the time complexity of the retrieval. This algorithm is of great significance.
