Searching Image Collections Using Deep Representations of Local Regions
Bátoryová, Jana ; Lokoč, Jakub (advisor) ; Fink, Jiří (referee)
In a known-item search task (KIS), the goal is to find a previously seen image in a multimedia collection. In this thesis, we discuss two different approaches based on the visual description of the image. In the first one, the user creates a collage of images (using images from an external search engine), based on which we provide the most similar results from the dataset. Our results show that preprocessing the images in the dataset by splitting them into several parts is a better way to work with the spatial information contained in the user input. We compared the approach to a baseline, which does not utilize this spatial information and an approach that alters a layer in a deep neural network. We also present an alternative approach to the KIS task, search by faces. In this approach, we work with the faces extracted from the images. We investigate face representation for the ability to sort the faces based on their similarity. Then we present a structure that allows easy exploration of the set of faces. We provide a demo, implementing all presented techniques.
