Abstract
Recently, fusion of descriptors has become a trend for improving the performance in image and video retrieval tasks. Descriptors can be global or local, depending on how they analyze visual content. Most of existing works have focused on the fusion of a single type of descriptor. Different from all of them, this paper aims to analyze the impact of combining global and local descriptors. Here, we perform a comparative study of different types of descriptors and all of their possible combinations. Extensive experiments of a rigorous experimental design show that global and local descriptors complement each other, such that, when combined, they outperform other combinations or single descriptors.
