摘要：We present a new method to generate efficient multi-level hashing codes for image retrieval based on the deep siamese convolutional neural network (DSCNN). Conventional deep hashing methods trade off the capability of capturing highly complex and nonlinear semantic information of images against very compact hash codes, usually leading to high retrieval efficiency but with deteriorated accuracy. We alleviate the restrictive compactness requirement of hash codes by extending them to a two-level hierarchical coding scheme, in which the first level aims to capture the high-level semantic information extracted by the deep network using a rich encoding strategy, while the subsequent level squeezes them to more global and compact codes. At running time, we adopt an attention-based mechanism to select some of its most essential bits specific to each query image for retrieval instead of using the full hash codes of the first level. The attention-based mechanism is based on the guides of hash codes generated by the second level, taking advantage of both local and global properties of deep features. Experimental results on various popular datasets demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method compared to several state-of-the-art methods.
