In image retrieval based on deep hashing, to solve the problems of low feature extraction efficiency in convolutional neural networks (CNN ) and underutilization of feature correlation, this paper proposed a novel method combining sparse difference network and multi-supervised hashing( SDNMSH ), and used it for efficient image retrieval. SDNMSH took pairs of images as training inputs, and guided hash codes learning through an elaborately designed sparse difference convolutional neural network and a supervised hash function. The sparse difference convolutional layer and the vanilla convolutional layer composed the sparse difference convolutional neural network. The sparse difference convolutional layer could quickly extract rich feature information, to achieve efficient feature extraction of the entire network. At the same time, in order to make full use of the pairwise correlation of semantic information and features, so as to promote the feature information extracted by the network to be more effectively transformed into discriminative hash codes, and then to achieve efficient image retrieval by using SDNMSH, this paper adopted a multi-supervised hash( MSH) function and designed an objective function for this purpose. Extensive experimental results on three widely used datasets MNIST,CIFAR-10 and NUS-WIDE show that SDNMSH achieves better retrieval performance, compared with the state-of-the-arts.

In order to improve the speed and precision of the content-based image retrieval system， this paper proposed a new convolutional encoding image retrieval method based on t-SNE. This paper firstly employed a high precision convolutional neural network model to extract image features from different layers， and then selected the optimal features by quantitative analysis of retrieval performance. Secondly， it adopted the t-SNE method to encode the best features of the network， and this step could reduce the feature dimension and remove the noise of the image features. Finally， it used the encoding features to build a content-based image retrieval system. The experimental results demonstrate that with the decrease of feature dimension， this method not only does not reduce the retrieval precision， but also can improve the retrieval accuracy in some cases. The retrieval accuracy of 16 dimensional convolutional encoding features can surpass the traditional method of 128 dimensional encoding features. Once the feature dimension is 8 times lower， the storage space will decrease 8 times and the retrieval efficiency will be greatly improved. Therefore， this method can effectively improve the speed and precision of content-based image retrieval system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Convolutional neural network (CNN), a hierarchical neural network, can extract powerful feature representations and make accurate classification at the same time. CNN has already made remarkable achievements in various fields such as image classification and object recognition. The ability of feature extraction of CNN has been used to retrieve images in lots of works, however, the powerful classification ability of CNN is ignored by most researchers. To improve the agricultural image retrieval performance, this paper proposes a reranking method that uses the classification ability of CNN. Firstly, the fine-tuned cnn model is used to extract the retrieval features of the query image and estimate the weight of each category of the query image. Second, the retrieved images are sorted according to the image similarity of the CNN features between the query image and each retrieved image, and then the initial retrieval results are obtained. Third, the initial retrieval results are used to calculate the weighted class average precision (CAP) of each image class. Finally, the order of image classes is obtained through sorting the classes according to the weighted CAP, and the retrieved images are re-ranked by the order of image classes. The images in the same class are retained their order in the initial result. Hence, the final retrieval result is obtained. Experiments of two publicly available datasets of remote sensing, PatternNet and UCM_LandUse, are carried to verify the validation of the proposed method. The experimental results are concluded as follows: 1) The reranking method can improve the initial results and get more relevant images in a contrast experiment. 2) Per class mean average precision (mAP) values of three features (FC6 and FC7 of VGG16, pool5 of ResNet50) are evaluated on UCM_LandUse dataset, and the reranking retrieval results have increased by approximately 30% than the initial results. 3) To determine the optimal parameter values, an experiment of the different training data volume on PatternNet is conducted to evaluate the influence of different number of training images on the retrieval performance. It can be seen that the mAP and ANMRR(Average normalized modified retrieval rank) improves with the increases of the number of training image. For example, the mAP of ft_pool5_rerank feature increases from 75.89% to 97.56% as the number of the training image per class grows from 5 to 90. 4) The average resort retrieval time increases by no more than 1% over the initial retrieval time. 5) The mAP of the proposed method on UCMD is 93.67%, and the ANMRR is 0.049 2, which is 0.235 8 lower than that of the state-of-the-art methods.The proposed method can realize higher retrieval performance of agricultural remote sensing image retrieval, it will be helpful to improve the level of information and intellectualization in the agricultural information field.

To solve the problem that the loss of image feature information and improve the accuracy of image retrieval, when the convolutional neural network (CNN) was used to extract the feature information of the image, this paper proposed an image retrieval algorithm based on improved convolutional neural network LeNet-L. First, it improved LeNet-5 convolution neural network structure, increased depth of network structure. Then, it pre-trained the deep convolutional neural network LeNet-L to extract the high-level semantic features. At last, it obtained the similar images by distance function between the image being retrieved and the one in image database. In Corel dataset, compared with the original model method and the traditional image retrieval method based on SVM and active learning, the proposed method had a higher accuracy. The experimental results show that the improved convolutional neural network has a better retrieval effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
