A Comparative Study of Deep Image Retrieval Models Leveraging Deep Features

This review investigates how deep learning methods can be utilized for efficient image retrieval based on content. Obtaining accurate images from vast digital collections poses significant challenges, motivating research in CBIR. The effectiveness of these methods varies depending on the dataset’s type and size, with certain algorithms excelling with specific dataset characteristics. An extensive and well-structured review of successful image retrieval techniques is given in this paper. Our primary objective is to evaluate various deep learning models applied by researchers and compare their performance based on the outcome of evaluation matrices. These models encompass CNNs, DBNs, and other deep architectures tailored for image retrieval tasks. By synthesizing insights from this review, researchers can make informed decisions regarding model selection and potentially enhance retrieval performance by leveraging advanced deep learning features. The importance of deep features in image retrieval is the ability to capture complex visual patterns and semantic information that cannot be easily extracted by traditional handcrafted features. With the increasing volume of online images, Image retrieval using deep learning has become crucial for applications like object recognition, image retrieval, and image search engines.
