[0001] The present invention relates to the field of retrieval, and in particular, to a method and device for image retrieval, a storage medium, and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] To provide a more convenient retrieval method, many applications provide a function of uploading images for approximate query. The user uploads the retrieval image, and the application server retrieves according to the retrieval image in the background to display approximate items on the result page, meeting the user's need for image-based retrieval.

[0003] However, if the retrieval image needs to be replaced, that is, retrieved and queried according to different images, it is necessary to return to the upload page of the retrieval image, that is, the query home page, select and upload the image again, and then query to achieve the replacement of the retrieval image. This process is relatively cumbersome and not conducive to the user to replace the retrieval image. Similarly, when the number of retrieval images increases, the replacement operation of the retrieval image becomes more cumbersome.

[0023] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a picture retrieval method is provided. Optionally, the above picture retrieval method can be but is not limited to being applied to an environment such as Figure 1 shown. In the terminal device 102, it is not limited to running a retrieval web page or retrieval application for picture retrieval, which is used to display retrieval results with a similarity greater than a preset threshold according to the retrieved picture. The terminal device 102 sends the received operation instruction to the server 112 through the network 110. The database 114 in the server 112 is used to store the operation instruction, and processes the operation instruction through the processing engine 116 to obtain a corresponding display result, and feeds back the display result to the terminal device 102 through the network to display the corresponding retrieval result on the retrieval web page or retrieval application of the terminal device 102.

[0024] The picture retrieval in the terminal device 102 is not limited to being implemented by sequentially executing S102 to S106. Overlay and display the retrieval floating window. In response to a display trigger operation performed on the display control in the first result page, overlay and display the retrieval floating window on the first result page. The first result page displays a first set of result pictures with a similarity greater than the similarity threshold to the first retrieved picture. The retrieval floating window displays the first retrieval parameter corresponding to the first result page, and the first retrieval parameter includes the first retrieved picture. Display the second retrieved picture. In response to a replacement operation performed on the first retrieved picture, display the replaced second retrieved picture in the retrieval floating window. Update and display the second result page. In response to a retrieval trigger operation performed on the second retrieved picture, update the first result page to the second result page. The second result page displays a second set of result pictures with a similarity greater than the similarity threshold to the second retrieved picture, and the second retrieved picture and the first retrieved picture are different picture files.

[0025] Optionally, in this embodiment, the above terminal device 102 may be a terminal device configured with a target client, including but not limited to at least one of the following: mobile phone (such as Android mobile phone, IOS mobile phone, etc.), laptop computer, tablet computer, handheld computer, MID (Mobile Internet Devices), PAD, desktop computer, smart TV, etc. The target client may be a retrieval client, a video client, an instant messaging client, a browser client, an education client, etc. The above network may include but not limited to: wired network, wireless network, where the wired network includes: local area network, metropolitan area network and wide area network, and the wireless network includes: Bluetooth, WIFI and other networks that implement wireless communication. The above server may be a single server, or a server cluster composed of multiple servers, or a cloud server. The above is only an example, and this embodiment does not make any limitation thereto.

[0026] As an alternative implementation, as Figure 2 shown, the above picture retrieval method includes:

[0027] S202, in response to a display trigger operation performed on a display control in the first result page, superimpose and display a retrieval floating window on the first result page, where the first result page displays a set of first result pictures whose similarity to the first retrieved picture is greater than a similarity threshold, and the retrieval floating window displays first retrieval parameters corresponding to the first result page, and the first retrieval parameters include the first retrieved picture;

[0028] S204, in response to a replacement operation performed on the first retrieved picture, display a second retrieved picture after replacement in the retrieval floating window;

[0029] S206, in response to a retrieval trigger operation performed on the second retrieved picture, update the first result page to a second result page, where the second result page displays a set of second result pictures whose similarity to the second retrieved picture is greater than a similarity threshold, and the second retrieved picture and the first retrieved picture are different picture files.

[0030] Optionally, the above first result page is a display page of a set of first result pictures obtained by performing picture similarity retrieval on the picture database according to the first retrieved picture. By performing a display trigger operation on the display control in the first result page, a retrieval floating window is superimposed and displayed on the first result page.

[0031] The retrieval floating window is used for the display and modification of retrieval parameters. When the retrieval floating window is triggered to be superimposed and displayed on the first result page, the first retrieval parameters corresponding to the first result page are displayed in the retrieval floating window. When the first retrieval parameters are changed to target retrieval parameters through the retrieval floating window, the first result page is updated to a target result page corresponding to the target retrieval parameters. The specific superimposed display method of the retrieval floating window is not limited to any position in the first result page, such as the middle or the edge.

[0032] The retrieval parameters at least include retrieval pictures, and may but are not limited to also include parameters such as name, type, date, etc. When the retrieval parameters other than the retrieval pictures are updated through the retrieval floating window, the set of result pictures included in the updated result page is updated. The operations on the retrieval parameters in the retrieval floating window are not limited to including addition, deletion, modification, etc., and the modification is not limited to including replacement and adjustment.

[0033] When the first retrieval picture is changed to a second retrieval picture through the retrieval floating window and retrieval is triggered, the first result page is updated to a second result page, and a set of second result pictures is displayed in the second result page. The first retrieval picture and the second retrieval picture are different picture files.

[0034] The superimposed display of the retrieval floating window on the retrieval result page is not limited to as Figure 3 shown. A retrieval floating window 310 is superimposed and displayed on the result page 300. When no update operation is performed on the retrieval pictures and retrieval parameters displayed in the retrieval floating window 310, the retrieval pictures and retrieval parameters corresponding to the result page 300 are displayed in the retrieval floating window 310. A set of result pictures whose similarity to the retrieval pictures meets a preset threshold is displayed in the result page 300, and is not limited to including result pictures 1 - 15. It is not limited to performing a display refresh operation on the result page to display the result pictures after result picture 15. The display refresh is a display refresh of the result page and does not change the retrieval pictures and retrieval parameters. A mode control can also be displayed in the result page 300 for adjusting the display mode of the result pictures in the result page 300. The sorting of the result pictures in the result page 300 is not limited to being from high to low according to the similarity to the retrieval pictures.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, by responding to a display trigger operation on the first result page, a retrieval floating window is superimposed and displayed, and the first retrieval picture corresponding to the first result page is replaced with a different second retrieval picture through the retrieval floating window. In the case of a retrieval trigger, the first result page is updated to a second result page corresponding to the second retrieval picture. By superimposing and displaying a retrieval floating window for adjusting retrieval parameters on the retrieval result page, and directly updating the result page to a result page corresponding to the replaced retrieval picture in the case of replacing and adjusting parameters, the purpose of directly adjusting and replacing retrieval parameters on the retrieval result page to update the retrieval result page is achieved, thereby realizing the technical effect of conveniently replacing retrieval pictures, and further solving the technical problem of cumbersome operations caused by inconvenient replacement of retrieval pictures.

[0036] As an alternative implementation, as Figure 4 shown, before displaying the first result page, it further includes:

[0037] S402, display a retrieval page, where the retrieval page displays an upload control and a first retrieval control;

[0038] S404, in the case of performing an upload trigger operation on the upload control, update and display the first retrieval picture in the retrieval page, where the first retrieval picture is a picture file determined by the upload trigger operation;

[0039] S406, in response to a retrieval trigger operation performed on the first retrieval control, display the first result page.

[0040] A retrieval page for triggering picture retrieval is displayed in the target client of the terminal device. The retrieval page may include, but is not limited to, parameter controls for inputting retrieval parameters. The parameter controls may include, but are not limited to, an upload control for uploading retrieval pictures. The retrieval page further includes a first retrieval control for triggering picture retrieval based on the uploaded retrieval picture and / or the input retrieval parameters, and at the same time indicating the display of the retrieval result page.

[0041] In the case of triggering the display of the result page through the first retrieval result, the result page is used to replace the retrieval page and is displayed in the target client. The target client may be a client for picture retrieval or any client providing picture retrieval functions.

[0042] The retrieval page is not limited to be as Figure 5As shown, the search page 500 includes an input control 510 for inputting search parameters, an upload control 520 for uploading search pictures, and a search control 530 for triggering a search. After determining the parameters for the search by at least one of inputting search parameters through the input control 510 or uploading search pictures through the upload control 520, the search control 530 is adjusted to a trigger state for performing a picture search based on the search parameters and / or the search pictures. The search page may also include a mode control for selecting the search mode.

[0043] As an alternative implementation, updating the first result page to the second result page includes: updating and displaying the first search parameters in the search floating window as second search parameters corresponding to the second result page, where the second search parameters include a second search picture.

[0044] When the result page is updated due to an update of the search parameters, the search floating window superimposed on the result page and the search parameters displayed in the search floating window are updated simultaneously to make the search parameters in the search floating window consistent with the result page.

[0045] As an alternative implementation, after updating and displaying the first search parameters in the search floating window as second search parameters corresponding to the second result page, it further includes: hiding the search floating window in response to a hide trigger operation performed on the display control.

[0046] When a trigger operation performed on the display control in the search floating window is detected, the search floating window is hidden, but no update operation is performed on the search parameters in the search floating window.

[0047] As an alternative implementation, superimposing and displaying the search floating window on the first result page includes: displaying a picture control and at least one parameter control in the search floating window, where the picture control is used to trigger the display of a picture change control, a second search control, and a first image, the first image being a thumbnail of the first search picture, and the parameter control is used to trigger the display of the corresponding search parameters.

[0048] The picture control is not limited to the combination of the picture change control and the first image. The first image is used as the control identifier of the picture control, and a trigger operation on the area where the first image is located is used to determine that a change operation of the search picture is detected. The parameter control is used to perform parameter adjustment of the corresponding search parameters.

[0049] Superimposing and displaying the search floating window on the first result page is not limited to Figure 6As shown in the figure. A retrieval floating window 610 is superimposed and displayed on the first result page 600. A picture control 602, a retrieval control 604, and a parameter control 606 are displayed in the retrieval floating window 610. The picture control 602 uses the thumbnail first image of the first retrieval picture corresponding to the first result page as the control identifier. The retrieval control 604 is used to trigger a re-retrieval, and the parameter control 606 is used to trigger an adjustment of the corresponding retrieval parameters.

[0050] As an alternative implementation, the above-mentioned display of the replaced second retrieval picture in the retrieval floating window includes:

[0051] S1. In response to a change trigger operation performed on the picture change control, a picture floating window is superimposed and displayed on the first result page, where the picture floating window is used to display candidate change pictures;

[0052] S2. When the second retrieval picture is determined from the candidate change pictures, the first image in the retrieval floating window is updated and displayed as the second image, where the second image is the thumbnail of the second retrieval picture.

[0053] The superimposed display of the picture floating window is triggered by a trigger operation on the picture control. The picture file corresponding to the candidate picture is displayed in the picture floating window. When the second retrieval picture is determined from the picture file, the first image in the retrieval floating window is updated to the second image corresponding to the second retrieval picture. When the image corresponding to the retrieval picture is the control identifier of the picture control, it is not limited to updating the control identifier of the picture control.

[0054] The picture floating window is not limited to including an address window for changing the picture file address. By changing the storage address in the address window, the candidate change pictures for update can be adjusted.

[0055] As an alternative implementation, after the above-mentioned superimposed display of the picture floating window on the first result page, it further includes:

[0056] S1. In response to a first trigger operation, the second retrieval picture in the selected state is displayed in the picture floating window, where the first trigger operation is used to determine the second retrieval picture from at least one candidate change picture displayed in the picture floating window;

[0057] S2. In response to a second trigger operation, it is determined that the second retrieval picture is determined from the candidate change pictures, and the picture floating window is hidden.

[0058] Determining the second retrieval picture in the picture floating window is not limited to being achieved by sequentially performing the first trigger operation and the second trigger operation. The first trigger operation is used to determine a retrieval file from the candidate picture files, and the second trigger operation determines that the picture corresponding to the retrieval file is used as the second retrieval picture.

[0059] In the case where the second trigger operation is not triggered, the change of the picture file is not limited to multiple first trigger operations, and the picture file selected when the second trigger operation is triggered is the picture file corresponding to the second retrieved picture.

[0060] The display of the picture floating window and the update of the retrieval floating window are not limited to as Figure 7 shown. In the case where a change trigger operation is performed on the picture control 602 in the retrieval floating window 610 on the first result page 600, a picture floating window 700 is superimposed and displayed on the first result page 600. Multiple candidate files and the file address of the current candidate file are displayed in the picture floating window 700. The number of candidate files corresponds to the file address, and the file address is the access address used to store files in the terminal device. After a selection operation is performed on the candidate file, a confirmation operation is performed on the confirmation control in the picture floating window 700, and it is determined that the retrieved file corresponding to the selected candidate file is used as the second retrieved picture for re-retrieval. In the case where a confirmation operation is performed on the confirmation control, the picture floating window 700 is hidden and the retrieval floating window 610 is updated to a retrieval floating window 710. The image corresponding to the second retrieved picture is used as the identifier of the picture control in the retrieval floating window 710. In the case where a trigger operation is performed on the retrieval control in the retrieval floating window 710, the first result page 600 is updated to a result page for picture similarity retrieval according to the second retrieved picture.
