Then, we compress the descriptors with the product quantization method. Finally, a better representation of the query is obtained by using the Support Vector Machines (SVM).}, year = {2016}, journal = {International Journal of Interactive Multimedia and Artificial Intelligence}, volume = {4}, number = {1}, pages = {6-10}, month = {09/2016}, issn = {1989-1660}, url = {http://www.ijimai.org/JOURNAL/sites/default/files/files/2016/02/ijimai20164_1_1_pdf_95245.pdf}, doi = {10.9781/ijimai.2016.411}, }
