Abstract

An approach is provided in which a knowledge manager locates centroids in a high-dimensional vector space that are closest to a new image feature set and performs nearest neighbor searches on feature sets included in clusters corresponding to the located centroids. The knowledge manager then selects feature sets closest to the new image feature set based on the nearest neighbor searches and in turn, marks images corresponding to the selected closest features sets as similar images to a new image corresponding to the new image feature set.
