Image Retrieval Costs

Quantities involved:
n number of objects in image
N distinct objects in DB
K number of images in DB
Kq number of images with Common>0 for query q

Size of image graph: n2/2 2D-PIRs + n ObjectDescriptors

Cost in answering queries:

  • matching objects   (lookup on relation of size N)

  • finding images containing objects   (lookup on relation of size K)

  • computing similarity for candidates   (computation of Kqn2 2D-PIR distances)
