Embodiment Construction

[0013] overview

[0014] As noted above, state-of-the-art CBIR (Content-Based Image Retrieval) systems do not take into account user preferences and return images that do not reflect current trends in user preferences and / or interests. These systems retrieve images without taking into account that some images are more frequently queried by users, while other images may be less frequently accessed. Additionally, user preferences and interests change over time. Images that were of interest to the user in the past may not be of interest to the user now. Furthermore, novel and new image queries cannot be incorporated into the construction of image search / retrieval algorithms. A typical example is an image query about cars. For example, most users may be interested in new car models. If a user submits a query image that includes a car, the search engine needs to sense that the user may want images of a new car model, rather than an old car model. In short, prior art image sear...

Abstract

The invention refers to an adaptive image retrieval database. An adaptive image retrieval image allows retrieval of images that are more likely to reflect a current trend of user preferences and / or interests, and therefore can provide relevant results to an image search. Adaptive image retrieval includes receiving image query log data from one or more clients, and updating a codebook of features based on the received query log data. The image query log data includes images that have been queried by the one or more clients within a predetermined period of time.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to retrieval, and more particularly to image retrieval. Background technique [0002] With the development of Internet technology, such as and Search engines such as , currently provide text-based image search services to Internet users. These image search services allow a user to enter keywords describing the images the user wants to find, and retrieve one or more database images based on the entered keywords. However, in order to retrieve the desired image, the entered keywords need to accurately and / or adequately describe the image. Furthermore, this type of image search requires that a database image have one or more text annotations to allow comparison and retrieval of that particular database image. Considering that there are millions of images on the Internet, this inevitably imposes a huge workload on search engines. Also, images must be accurately and completely tagged with text annotations in order to disc...
