Research on image feature extraction and retrieval algorithms based on convolutional neural network

Abstract

With the rapid development of mobile Internet and digital technology, people are more and more keen to share pictures on social networks, and online pictures have exploded. How to retrieve similar images from large-scale images has always been a hot issue in the field of image retrieval, and the selection of image features largely affects the performance of image retrieval. The Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), which contains more hidden layers, has more complex network structure and stronger ability of feature learning and expression compared with traditional feature extraction methods. By analyzing the disadvantage that global CNN features cannot effectively describe local details when they act on image retrieval tasks, a strategy of aggregating low-level CNN feature maps to generate local features is proposed. The high-level features of CNN model pay more attention to semantic information, but the low-level features pay more attention to local details. Using the increasingly abstract characteristics of CNN model from low to high. This paper presents a probabilistic semantic retrieval algorithm, proposes a probabilistic semantic hash retrieval method based on CNN, and designs a new end-to-end supervised learning framework, which can simultaneously learn semantic features and hash features to achieve fast image retrieval. Using convolution network, the error rate is reduced to 14.41% in this test set. In three open image libraries, namely Oxford, Holidays and ImageNet, the performance of traditional SIFT-based retrieval algorithms and other CNN-based image retrieval algorithms in tasks are compared and analyzed. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to other contrast algorithms in terms of comprehensive retrieval effect and retrieval time.
