The invention discloses an
image retrieval method based on depth edge information, which comprises the following steps: firstly, extracting depth features of an image from a deep neural network, and constructing a target information feature map through color information and spatial information of the image; secondly, extracting a horizontal edge graph and a
vertical edge graph from the target information feature graph and the depth feature graph by using a
Prewitt operator to construct an edge information weight and an edge information feature graph; then, weighting the edge information feature map by using an edge information weight, and obtaining a
spatial aggregation feature vector through
spatial aggregation; and calculating a channel difference
weight value according to the edge information feature map and the
spatial aggregation feature value, and weighting the spatial aggregation
feature vector by using the channel difference weight to obtain a final
feature vector. And
principal component analysis and
feature dimension compression are carried out on the final feature vector to obtain the final representation of the image. And performing similarity calculation by utilizing the final representation of the image during retrieval to obtain a
retrieval result. According to the method, the
image retrieval performance of the depth features can be improved.
