Abstract
A method of performing image retrieval includes training a random forest RF classifier based on low-level features of training images and a high-level feature, using similarity values generated by the RF classifier to determine a subset of the training images that are most similar to one another, and classifying input images for the high-level feature using the RF classifier and the determined subset of images.
