Abstract
Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for managing one or more images. An example method for indexing involves operating a processor to, divide an image portion of an image of the one or more images into a plurality of patches, for each patch of the image: detect one or more features of the patch; and assign the patch to at least one cluster of a plurality of clusters of the image, based on the one or more features of the patch. The processor is operable to, for each cluster of the image, select at least one patch from the cluster as at least one representative patch for the cluster; for each representative patch, generate an encoded representation based on one or more features of the representative patch; and generate an index identifier for the image based on the encoded representations of the representative patches of the image.
