Deep Learning of Image Representations with Convolutional Neural Networks Autoencoder for Image Retrieval with Relevance Feedback

Abstract

mage retrieval with traditional relevance feedback encounters problems: (1) ability to represent handcrafted features which is limited, and (2) inefficient withhigh-dimensional data such as image data. In this paper,we propose a framework based on very deep convolutionalneural network autoencoder for image retrieval, called AIR(Autoencoders for Image Retrieval). Our proposed frameworkallows to learn feature vectors directly from the raw imageand in an unsupervised manner. In addition, our frameworkutilizes a hybrid approach of unsupervised and supervisedto improve retrieval performance. The experimental resultsshow that our method gives better results than some existingmethods on the CIFAR-100 image set, which consists of 60,000images.
