Abstract

In this paper we present an efficient method for visual descriptors retrieval based on compact hash codes computed using a multiple k-means assignment. The method has been applied to the problem of approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search of local and global visual content descriptors, and it has been tested on different datasets: three large scale public datasets of up to one billion descriptors (BIGANN) and, supported by recent progress in convolutional neural networks (CNNs), also on the CIFAR-10 and MNIST datasets. Experimental results show that, despite its simplicity, the proposed method obtains a very high performance that makes it superior to more complex state-of-the-art methods.
