imdb_framework

for Sketch-based image retrieval

What's this?

This project is forked from mathiaseitz's imdb_framework which I am interested in.

Whole code is based on the paper "Sketch-Based Shape Retrieval" - SIGGRAPH 2012 and the previous paper "Sketch-based image retrieval: benchmark and bag-of-features descriptors" - IEEE T VIS COMPUT GR 2011.

Algorithm

Sketch-Based Shape Retrieval

1. GALIF: Gabor local line-based feature
2. BoF: Bag of Features

Sketch-based image retrieval: benchmark and bag-of-features descriptors

1. sHoG
2. BoF: Bag of Features

Requirement before compile

• Qt lib and Qt creator

Note: Whole code is written by Qt creator, instead of VS.

If you find the file named ".pri", you will immediatly understand it. The dependencies and include files will be find in ".pri". But I cannot use Qt creator very well, I have changed the Qt version to the MSVS version. If you're familiar with MSVS, you can fork my next repository named "imdb_framework_msvs"

• boost lib

USE AT LEAST FOUR CPU CORES TO COMPUTE!!!(depend on your hardware)

• openCV 2.x
