Other features of the present disclosure will be easily understood through the following description.
The accompanying drawings are used for a better understanding of the scheme, and do not constitute a limitation to the present disclosure. Here:
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are described below in combination with the accompanying drawings, and various details of the embodiments of the present disclosure are included in the description to facilitate understanding, and should be considered as exemplary only. Accordingly, it should be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Also, for clarity and conciseness, descriptions for well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.
As shown in
A user may use the terminal devices 101, 102 and 103 to interact with the server 105 via the network 104, to receive or send a message, etc. Various communication client applications (e.g., a webpage browser application, a shopping application, a search application, an instant communication tool, a mailbox client, and social platform software) may be installed on the terminal devices 101, 102 and 103.
The terminal devices 101, 102 and 103 may be hardware or software. When being the hardware, the terminal devices 101, 102 and 103 may be various electronic devices having a display screen and supporting webpage browsing, the electronic devices including, but not limited to, a smartphone, a tablet computer, an e-book reader, an MP3 player (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III), an MP4 (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer IV) player, a laptop portable computer, a desktop computer, and the like. When being the software, the terminal devices 101, 102 and 103 may be installed in the above listed electronic devices. The terminal devices 101, 102 and 103 may be implemented as a plurality of pieces of software or a plurality of software modules (e.g., software or software modules for providing a distributed service), or may be implemented as a single piece of software or a single software module, which will not be specifically limited here.
The server 105 may be a server providing various services, for example, a backend search server providing a search result for an image submitted by the terminal devices 101, 102 and 103. The backend search server may perform processing such as an analysis on received data such as a search request, and feed back a processing result (e.g., a search result) to the terminal devices.
A system for retrieving an image is installed on the server 105. The system includes the following layers:
1. A unified access layer, configured to receive a query request comprising a target image, hand over the query request to an advanced search layer for processing, and output the search result returned by the advanced search layer. The unified access layer can be implemented by Python and PHP, and is the final interface layer to the outside. In addition, the unified access layer may further be responsible for pre-processing, accessing a back-end service, and post-processing.
2. The advanced search layer (abbreviated as AS), configured to extract a feature of the target image, hand over the feature to a basic search layer for processing, and return a search result obtained by combining candidate images received from the basic search layer to the unified access layer. The advanced search layer may first detect a subject and then extract the feature. The search result may further be filtered and then returned to the unified access layer.
3. The basic search layer, includes at least one shard, each of which is configured to find a matching candidate image in a database stored in a local disk according to the feature provided by the advanced search layer, and return a predetermined number of candidate images with a highest similarity score and a highest identicalness score. The shard is responsible for loading or reading an index from the disk, retrieving and scoring the index according to the feature provided by the AS, and finally returning K results with a highest score. A request is received at the basic search (abbreviated as BS), i.e., each shard in the BS. Since the each shard is part of the index, the request is always sent to the BS of all different shards. For example, if TOP 200 results are finally required, the each shard retrieves TOP 200 results according to the request. In this way, the TOP 200 in the general index can be obtained at the AS layer.
It should be noted that the server may be hardware or software. When being the hardware, the server may be implemented as a distributed server cluster composed of a plurality of servers, or may be implemented as a single server. When being the software, the server may be implemented as a plurality of pieces of software or a plurality of software modules (e.g., software or software modules for providing a distributed service), or may be implemented as a single piece of software or a single software module, which will not be specifically limited here. The server may alternatively be a server of a distributed system, or a server combined with a blockchain. The server may alternatively be a cloud server, or an intelligent cloud computing server or intelligent cloud host with the artificial intelligence technology.
It should be noted that the method for retrieving an image provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure is generally performed by the server 105. Correspondingly, the apparatus for retrieving an image is generally provided in the server 105.

Step 201, detecting, in response to receiving a query request comprising a target image, a target subject from the target image.
In this embodiment, an executing body (e.g., the server shown in
Alternatively, before the detection, a preprocessing operation such as an image size adjustment performed on the image inputted by the user is to make the minimum side length less than or equal to 1000 by default, so as to avoid that the image transmitted to the detection model and a feature extraction model is too large. Then, a target subject detection is performed through the detection model. When a plurality of target subjects are detected, a detection box with a small size or confidence level is filtered out. The detection results are sorted according to confidence levels, and TOP 2 results at most can be taken. If the confidence level difference is large, only the TOP 1 result may be taken.
Step 202, extracting a subject feature from the target subject if a confidence level of a detection box of the detected target subject is greater than a first threshold.
In this embodiment, if the confidence level of the detection box of the detected target subject is greater than the first threshold, it indicates that the detected target subject is credible and thus the feature can be extracted from the target subject. Otherwise, the feature needs to be extracted from the complete image. For this specific process, reference is made to the flow 400. The subject feature includes an identical feature, a similar feature and a category. The identical feature is a feature used when partial image matching is performed on the target subject, and can be extracted through a convolutional neural network of an attention mechanism. The similar feature is a feature used when complete image matching is performed on the target subject, and can be extracted through the convolutional neural network. The category may refer to a coarse-grained category, e.g., 6 categories (“two-dimensional code, human face, plant, text, dishes, and commodity”). The category may alternatively refer to a fine-grained classification, e.g., 80,000 categories.
The identical feature, the similar feature and the category can be extracted through a feature model. The feature model is a deep learning model trained based on data of the magnitude of ten millions, and has a stronger expressive capability than a traditional machine learning feature model.
Step 203, performing matching on the subject feature of the target image and a subject feature of a candidate image pre-stored in a database, to obtain a similarity score and an identicalness score of the candidate image.
In this embodiment, a large number of candidate images are pre-stored in the database, and the subject feature of each candidate image is pre-extracted. Therefore, the matching can be performed on the subject feature of the target image and the subject feature of the candidate image. The distance between the similar feature of the target image and the similar feature of the candidate image is calculated to obtain the similarity score of the candidate image. The farther the distance is, the lower the score is. The distance between the identical feature of the target image and the identical feature of the candidate image is calculated to obtain the identicalness score of the candidate image. The farther the distance is, the lower the score is. Various existing distance calculation methods such as a cosine distance and a Euclidean distance may be used.
Step 204, selecting, according to the similarity score and the identicalness score, a predetermined number of candidate images as a search result for output.
In this embodiment, the candidate images may be first sorted in a descending order of identicalness scores, and then the candidate images having the same identicalness score may be sorted in a descending order of similarity scores. Then, a predetermined number of top-ranked candidate images are taken as the search result for output. It is also possible to perform the sorting according to weighted sums of the identicalness scores and the similarity scores. The database stores not only the candidate images, but also the related information of the subjects corresponding to the candidate images, and a candidate image with a link may be outputted. After the user clicks on the candidate image, relevant information of the subject corresponding to the candidate image can be jumped to.
Alternatively, a candidate image having a low similarity score and a low identicalness score may be filtered out in advance, without participating in the sorting.
According to the method provided in the above embodiment of the present disclosure, the accuracy of recognizing the images of the identical commodity and similar commodity can be improved without relying on the capabilities of the detection model and the feature extraction model.
In some alternative implementations of this embodiment, the extracting a subject feature from the target subject includes: extracting the similar feature from the target subject through a similar feature model; extracting an identical feature of a partial image from the target subject through an identical feature model; and extracting the category from the target subject through a classification model. The similar feature, the identical feature and the category can be respectively extracted through the similar feature model, the identical feature model and a target classification model. Here, the similar feature model is a deep network-based model, used to calculate the degree of similarity between the target image inputted by the user and the image in the database. The identical feature model is a deep network-based partial image feature, which can more characterize the partial characteristics between the identical commodities. The target classification model is a deep network-based classification model, which classifies the inputted image and is used to filter a request for a non-target in the inputted image.
The similar feature model may be a common convolutional neural network. The identical feature model may be an attention mechanism-based convolutional neural network. In this way, the identical feature and the similar feature can be extracted with pertinence, and thus, the image of the identical commodity and the image of the similar commodity can be more accurately recognized. Accordingly, the matching speed of the images is improved.
The target classification model may alternatively include two models: a coarse-grained classification model and a fine-grained classification model. The coarse-grained classification model may recognize 6 kinds of targets. The fine-grained classification model may recognize 80,000 kinds of targets. In this way, a non-target image can be filtered in advance through the coarse-grained model, avoiding useless work. The two classification models may be respectively used to obtain two classification results.
In some alternative implementations of this embodiment, the method further includes: filtering out a detection box having a detection box size less than a size threshold or having a confidence level less than a second threshold. When a target detection is performed, a plurality of target subjects may be detected, and an incredible target subject may be filtered out according to the size, because the target that the user wants to search for must be intentionally magnified and photographed. In addition, it is also possible to filter out a low-credibility target subject. In this way, the amount of calculation in the subsequent matching process can be reduced, thereby improving the query speed and accuracy.
In some alternative implementations of this embodiment, the method further includes: determining, if a number of detection boxes is greater than 1, a unique target subject according to a position and an area of a detection box of each target subject and the similarity score and the identicalness score of the candidate image. If there may be one or more than one credible target subject after the previous filtering, filtering may be alternatively performed according to the position and the area of the detection box, to retain a target subject which is in the middle of the image and of which the area exceeds a predetermined area threshold. If there is also more than one target subject, filtering is performed again through the similarity score and the identicalness score in the matching process. For example, if the similarity score and identicalness score in the search result of the target subject A are not higher than 0.5, while the similarity score and identicalness score in the search result of the target subject B can be up to 0.9, the target subject B is considered to be the subject that the user wants to search for.
In some alternative implementations of this embodiment, the selecting, according to the similarity score and the identicalness score, a predetermined number of candidate images as a search result for output includes: calculating degrees of matching of the candidate images according to similarity scores and identicalness scores of the candidate images; and selecting, if a first candidate image with a highest degree of matching does not meet a filtering condition, the predetermined number of candidate images in a descending order of the degrees of matching as the search result for output. The weighted sum of the similarity score and the identicalness score of the candidate image may be used as a degree of matching. Here, the weight of the identicalness score may be set to be larger. The candidate image with the highest degree of matching is named as the first candidate image. If the first candidate image meets the filtering condition, it is considered that the image sent by the user is not a type to be recognized (e.g., not a commodity image), and thus, the search result is rejected to be returned. If some parameters of the first candidate image do not meet the filtering condition, the search result may be outputted. In this way, the recognition rejection function can be realized, and thus, the search result is not outputted for a non-target image input.
In some alternative implementations of this embodiment, the filtering condition includes at least one of the following items:
Five sets of filtering conditions are listed below. Here, “first,” “second” . . . are used to distinguish thresholds, and refer to the descending order of the thresholds. That is, a first identicalness threshold<a second identicalness threshold<a third identicalness threshold<a fourth identicalness threshold<a fifth identicalness threshold, and a first similarity threshold<a second similarity threshold<a third similarity threshold<a fourth similarity threshold<a fifth similarity threshold.
1. The identicalness score of the first candidate image is less than the first identicalness threshold, and the similarity score of the first candidate image is less than the first similarity threshold. Different thresholds are set by the identicalness score, similarity score, etc. in the returned Top 1 result, and coarse screening is performed.
2. The identicalness score of the first candidate image is less than the second identicalness threshold, and the similarity score of the first candidate image is less than the second similarity threshold. Moreover, both the coarse-grained category of the target subject and the coarse-grained category of the first candidate image belong to a predetermined coarse-grained category. There may be two classification models: a coarse-grained model outputting coarse-grained categories (e.g., six categories) and a fine-grained model outputting fine-grained categories (e.g., 80,000 categories), of which the main purpose is to filter a non-target category. For example, if the target is a commodity, a non-commodity category (two-dimensional code, human face, plant, text, and dishes) can be filtered out.
3. The identicalness score of the first candidate image is less than the third identicalness threshold, and the similarity score of the first candidate image is less than the third similarity threshold. Moreover, the difference between the fine-grained category of the target subject and the fine-grained category of the first candidate image is greater than a predetermined difference threshold. For example, if the probability that the fine-grained category of the target subject refers to a coat is 0.9, and the probability that the fine-grained category of the first candidate image refers to a coat is 0.05, the difference is too large, and the matching TOP 1 result is not credible, and accordingly, the remaining results are less credible. Therefore, all the candidate images are filtered out.
4. The identicalness score of the first candidate image is less than the fourth identicalness threshold, and the similarity score of the first candidate image is less than the fourth similarity threshold. Moreover, both the frequency at which the fine-grained category of the target subject belongs to a predetermined fine-grained category and the frequency at which the fine-grained category of the first candidate image belongs to the predetermined fine-grained category are greater than a predetermined frequency threshold. There are many levels of categories, and the frequency of occurrence of an upper level of category can be counted. For example, non-commodity categories such as “book cover,” “screenshot,” “unnatural image,” “simple drawing,” “pathological image,” “bottled drinks,” “architecture” and “hardware product” are filtered.
5. If the first candidate image is derived from an e-commerce business, the identicalness score of the first candidate image is less than the fifth identicalness threshold, and the similarity score of the first candidate image is less than the fifth similarity threshold. Moreover, the fine-grained category of the target subject belongs to a predetermined item category. The commodity category easily mis-recognized in an e-commerce scenario can be filtered out, for example, “books,” “clothing and underwear,” “automobile supplies,” “gift bags,” and “toy musical instruments.”
The non-target image can be filtered out through the above filtering conditions, and a recall result that is truly consistent with the intent of the user can be returned.

Step 401, detecting, in response to receiving a query request comprising a target image, a target subject from the target image.
Step 401 is substantially the same as step 201, and thus will not be repeatedly described here.
Step 402, extracting, if the target subject is not detected or a confidence level of a detection box of the detected target subject is less than or equal to a first threshold, a complete image feature from the target image, the complete image feature comprising an identical feature, a similar feature, a category and a pairing feature.
In this embodiment, the way in which the identical feature, the similar feature and the category are extracted is substantially the same as that in step 202, and thus will not be repeatedly described here. The pairing feature is similar to the similar feature, but with less content. The pairing feature is a feature used to determine whether two images are pairing. The pairing feature can be extracted through a pairing model. The pairing model is also a convolutional neural network, but smaller in structure than the similar feature model.
Step 403, performing matching on the complete image feature of the target image and a complete image feature of a candidate image pre-stored in a database, to obtain a similarity score, an identicalness score and a pairing score of the candidate image.
In this embodiment, the process of calculating the similarity score and the identicalness score is substantially the same as that in step 203, and thus will not be repeatedly described here. The pairing score is calculated according to the distance between the pairing features, and the farther the distance is, the lower the pairing score is. Various existing distance calculation methods such as a cosine distance and a Euclidean distance may be used.
Step 404, selecting, according to the similarity score, the identicalness score and the pairing score, a predetermined number of candidate images as a search result for output.
In this embodiment, a degree of matching may be calculated according to the weighted sum of the similarity score, the identicalness score and the pairing score, and then the predetermined number of candidate images are selected in a descending order of degrees of matching as the search result for output. In the filtering condition, the threshold of the pairing score may also be set in combination with the identicalness score and the similarity score. For example, the first set of filtering conditions may be set to: the identicalness score of the first candidate image being less than a first identicalness threshold, the similarity score of the first candidate image being less than a first similarity threshold, and the pairing score of the first candidate image being less than a first pairing threshold.
