Abstract
Some implementations provide techniques and arrangements to perform image retrieval. For example, some implementations identify an object of interest and a visual context in a first image. In some implementations, a second image that includes a second object of interest and a second visual context may be compared to the object of interest and the visual content, respectively, to determine whether the second image matches the first image.
