Image retrieval is a critical area in computer vision, focusing on efficiently locating images based on various input modalities such as text, sketches, and contextual information. Recent advancements have introduced novel frameworks that enhance the accuracy and robustness of retrieval systems by integrating multi-modal reasoning and contextual cues. Techniques like multi-level vision selection and dual-path contextualized networks have shown promise in improving retrieval performance by addressing challenges such as semantic misalignment and contextual dependencies. These developments are essential for builders looking to create applications that require precise image retrieval capabilities, particularly in complex scenarios where traditional methods may falter. As the demand for sophisticated image retrieval solutions grows across industries, leveraging these innovative approaches can significantly enhance user experience and operational efficiency.
Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) aims to retrieve target images based on a reference image and modified texts. However, existing methods often struggle to extract the correct semantic cues from the refe...
Fine-grained image retrieval via hand-drawn sketches or textual descriptions remains a critical challenge due to inherent modality gaps. While hand-drawn sketches capture complex structural contours, ...
Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) is a challenging image retrieval paradigm. It aims to retrieve target images from large-scale image databases that are consistent with the modification semantics, based ...
We focus on the task of retrieving nail design images based on dense intent descriptions, which represent multi-layered user intent for nail designs. This is challenging because such descriptions spec...
Many real-world applications in digital forensics, urban monitoring, and environmental analysis require jointly reasoning about visual appearance, geolocation, and time. Beyond standard geo-localizati...
Dense image retrieval is accurate but offers limited interpretability and attribution, and it can be compute-intensive at scale. We present \textbf{BM25-V}, which applies Okapi BM25 scoring to sparse ...
Pre-trained vision-language models (VLMs) excel in multimodal tasks, commonly encoding images as embedding vectors for storage in databases and retrieval via approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS)...
Building on existing approaches, we revisit Human-in-the-Loop Object Retrieval, a task that consists of iteratively retrieving images containing objects of a class-of-interest, specified by a user-pro...
Composed image retrieval (CIR) requires complex reasoning over heterogeneous visual and textual constraints. Existing approaches largely fall into two paradigms: unified embedding retrieval, which suf...
Composed image retrieval (CIR) requires multi-modal models to jointly reason over visual content and semantic modifications presented in text-image input pairs. While current CIR models achieve strong...
