Abstract
Methods, systems, and techniques for performing a hash-based appearance search. A processor is used to obtain a hash vector that represents a search subject that is depicted in an image. The hash vector includes one or more hashes as a respective one or more components of the hash vector. The processor determines which one or more of the hashes satisfy a threshold criterion and which one or more of the components of the hash vector qualify as a scoring component. The one or more components that qualify correspond to a respective one or more hashes that satisfy the threshold criterion and that are represented in a scoring database that is generated based on different examples of a search target. The processor determines a score representing a similarity of the search subject to the different examples of the search target.
