Abstract
A processing system may receive an example image for use in querying a collection of digital images. The processing system may use local and global feature descriptors to perform a content-based image comparison of the digital images with the example image, to automatically rank the digital images with respect to similarity to the example image. A local feature descriptor may represent a portion of the contents of a digital image. A global feature descriptor may represent substantially all of the contents of that digital image. The global feature descriptor may be content based, not keyword based. Intermediate and final classifiers may be used to perform the automatic ranking. Different intermediate classifiers may generate intermediate relevance metrics with respect to different modalities. The final classifier may use results from the intermediate classifiers to produce a final relevance metric for the digital images. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
