All state-of-the-art retrieval results have been achieved by methods that include a query expansion that brings a significant boost in performance. We introduce three modifications to automatic query expansion: (i) a method capable of preventing query expansion failure caused by the presence of confusers, (ii) an improved spatial verification and re-ranking step that incrementally builds a statistical model of the query object and (iii) we learn relevant spatial context to boost retrieval performance. The three improvements of query expansion were evaluated on established Paris and Oxford datasets according to a standard protocol, and state-of-the-art results were achieved.}, keywords = {bag-of-words, query expansion, large scale image retrieval}, prestige = {important}, authorship = {25-25-25-25}, note = {CD-ROM}, status = {published}, doi = {10.1109/CVPR.2011.5995601}, project = {MSM6840770038, CTU SGS11/125/OHK3/2T/13, EC project FP7-ICT-247022 MASH, and a Microsoft scholarship}, psurl = {10.1109/CVPR.2011.5995601.pdf}, update = {2011-09-02} }
