Title
Image Retargeting for Preserving Robust Local Feature: Application to Mobile Visual Search
Abstract
With the sharp increasing of mobile devices, conducting search on mobile devices becomes pervasive, and one of the most popular applications is mobile visual search. To achieve low bit-rate visual search, most of the existing works focus on addressing local descriptor coding and BoW histogram compression . In this paper, we extend the concept of image retargeting and propose a new image resizing approach that is devoted to preserving the robust local features in the query image while resizing it. Based on the extended concept, we introduce a novel mobile-visual-search scheme that conducts the proposed approach to reduce the size of the query image for achieving low bit-rate visual search. Extensive experiments on Oxford 5 K and Flickr 100k datasets show that our approach obtains superior retrieval performance than state-of-the-art image resizing approaches at the similar query size; meanwhile, it is cost effective in terms of processing time.
