Abstract
A method of comparing objects in images. A dictionary determined from a plurality of feature vectors formed from a test image and codes formed by applying the dictionary to the feature vectors, is received. The dictionary is based on a modified manifold obtained by determining correspondences for codes using pairwise similarities between codes. Comparison codes are determined for the objects in the images by applying the dictionary to feature vectors of the objects in the images. The objects in the images are compared based on the comparison codes of the objects.
