Problems solved by technology

However, many studies have pointed out that reranking using only image visual information cannot achieve satisfactory results.
At the same time, when using long queries for retrieval, the initial retrieval results are usually unreliable, that is, the images ranked in front of the initial retrieval results have low correlation with the query words

Embodiment Construction

[0067] In this embodiment, a long query image retrieval and reordering method combining semantic and visual information is to reorder the search results returned by the image search engine, and proceed as follows:

[0068] Step 1. On the search engine, enter a long query statement Q for image retrieval. A long query statement is a natural language query statement composed of several closely related concepts. For example, the long query "people dancing on the wedding" contains three The concepts are "people", "dancing" and "wedding", respectively, and these three concepts are closely related. From the returned several long query images, select the long query images sorted as the top N in the long query images, and form the initial return list X={x by the first N long query images 1 ,x 2 ,...,x u ,...,x N},x u Indicates the uth long query image in the initial return list, u represents the long query image x u The position in the initial return list is the uth, u=1,...,N;

Abstract

The invention discloses a long inquiring image searching reordering algorithm based on semantic and visual information. The long inquiring image searching reordering algorithm is characterized by comprising the following steps: 1, inputting a long inquiring statement to acquire an initial returning list; 2, building a visual dictionary; 3, segmenting the long inquiring statement and extracting a visual concept; 4, acquiring initial returning lists respectively based on the visual concept; 5, extracting textual features and visual features; 6, establishing a probabilistic model; 7, estimating semantic correlations; 8, estimating visual correlations; 9, combing the semantic correlations and the visual correlations; 10, reordering to acquire a reordering result. According to the invention, the long inquiring image searching reordering algorithm can make full use of image feature information, so that the accuracy of image searching and reordering can be effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of information retrieval, in particular to a long query image retrieval and reordering method combining semantic and visual information. Background technique [0002] The 21st century is the information age. With the development of Internet technology and network sharing services, the image data on the network is increasing exponentially. Image retrieval has become an indispensable activity in people's daily life. As the search behavior of network users becomes more and more precise, query words become more and more complex, and complex long queries can express more specific and precise information than simple queries. However, existing web search engines usually have wrong sorting of the retrieval results returned by long queries. The reasons are mainly because: First, long queries are composed of multiple concepts, which further widens the semantic gap between textual query words and visual content. Seco...
