The embedding is\nachieved by extending each feature descriptor with a binary string that encodes\na cue and supports the Hamming distance metric. Augmenting the descriptors in\nsuch a way has the advantage of being transparent to the procedure used to\ncompare them. We present two concrete applications of our methodology,\ndemonstrating the two considered types of cues. In addition to that, we\nconducted on these applications a broad quantitative and comparative evaluation\ncovering five benchmark datasets and several state-of-the-art image retrieval\napproaches in combination with various binary descriptor types.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1809.06690v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1809.06690v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"adding-cues-to-binary-feature-descriptors-for","repo_url":"https://gitlab.com/srrg-software/srrg_bench","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"image-retrieval","task_name":"Image Retrieval"},{"task_slug":"retrieval","task_name":"Retrieval"},{"task_slug":"visual-place-recognition","task_name":"Visual Place Recognition"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
