Springer, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-89131-2_2 ElasticHash uses Elasticsearch for high-quality, efficient, and large-scale semantic image similarity search. It is based on a deep hashing model to learn hash codes for fine-grained image similarity search in natural images and a two-stage method for efficiently searching binary hash codes using Elasticsearch (ES). In the first stage, a coarse search based on short hash codes is performed using multi-index hashing and ES terms lookup of neighboring hash codes. In the second stage, the list of results is re-ranked by computing the Hamming distance on long hash codes. The files published here are needed to set up the system for large-scale image similarity search and to reproduce the experiments.
