Fast Image Retrieval

Introduction

Fast Image Retrieval (FIRe) is an open source image retrieval project release by Center of Image and Signal Processing Lab (CISiP Lab), Universiti Malaya. This framework implements most of the major binary hashing methods, together with different popular backbone networks and public datasets.

Major features

• One for All

  Herein, we unified (i) various binary hashing methods, (ii) different backbone, and (iii) multiple datasets under a single framework to ease the research and benchmarking in this domain. It supports popular binary hashing methods, e.g. HashNet, GreedyHash, DPN, OrthoHash, etc.

• Modularity

  We break the framework into parts so that one can easily implement their own method by joining up the components.
