One fundamental problem in object retrieval with the bag-of-visual words (BoW) model is its
lack of spatial information. Although various approaches are proposed to incorporate spatial …

This paper proposes a novel and efficient re-ranking technque to solve the person re-
identification problem in the surveillance application. Previous methods treat person re …

In Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems, ranking accurately collection images is of
great relevance. Users are interested in the returned images placed at the first positions …

Abstract Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems consider only a pairwise analysis,
ie, they measure the similarity between pairs of images, ignoring the rich information …

One fundamental problem in object retrieval with the bag-of-words model is its lack of spatial
