Abstract: This invention is an image retrieval method based on bit-scalable deep hashing learning. According to the method, the training images is used to generate a batch of image triples, wherein each of the triples contains two images with the same label and one image with a different label. The purpose of model training is to maximize a margin between matched image pairs and unmatched image pairs in the Hamming space. The deep convolutional neural network is utilized to train the model in an end-to-end fasion, where discriminative images features and has functions are simultaneously optimized. Furthermore, each bit of the hashing codes is unequally weighted so that we can manipulate the code length by truncating the insignificant bits. It is also shown that the generated bit-scalable hashing codes well preserve the discriminative powers with sorter code lengths.

Abstract: A validation procedure employs metadata reuse using composite path signatures to make a metadata reuse determination. The procedure is performed as part of validating a set of data objects. Validating an initial subset of data objects generates N different sets of object-specific metadata, each set of which is associated with a different composite path signature. When subsequently validating another data object, a composite path signature is generated for the data object and compared with the composite path signatures of the N different sets of object-specific metadata. If a match is found, then the object-specific metadata of the matching composite path signature is reused for the data object. The object-specific metadata is remapped to an in-memory representation of the data object.
