The use of inverted filesallows very large numbers ($\geq \mathcal{O}(104)$) of \emph{possible}features to be used. since search is limited to the subspace spannedby the features present in the query image(s). A variety of weightingschemes used in text retrieval are employed, yielding different results.We suggest possibles modifications for their use with image databases.The use of relevance feedback was shown to improve the query resultssignificantly, as measured by precision and recall, for all users. }, owner = { steph }, timestamp = { 2008.05.04 }, url1 = { http://vision.unige.ch/publications/postscript/99/SquireMuellerMueller_vis99.pdf }, vgclass = { refpap }, vgproject = { viper }, }
