Some questions regarding this CBIR system #1

  1. Does it use clustering, and if so, what is the K Value?
  2. Can SURF be replaced with (A)KAZE to make it faster and rotation-resistant?
  3. What does the database use?

Hi @DonaldTsang . This was a very short-term POC project for a class, and the code is terrible. To answer your questions,

1) We did use k-means clustering, and we determined that there was 9 clusters 2) Yes. We used SIFT because that was the most popularly used method. The main idea behind this was Bag-of-Features, and you can switch out SIFT with other feature extraction methods. 3) The database stores the image index, its corresponding SIFT features, and its cluster assignment.
