Issue of resource usage in content-based image retrieval algorithms
Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is a field of active research for almost 20 years. This timeframe has seen several generations of hardware and corresponding changes in computer usage patterns. It is therefore prudent to periodically reevaluate known methods in the context of modern hardware and usage patterns. Overall the issue of resource usage in CBIR is somewhat neglected. In this paper some extremes in this area are benchmarked and results presented. Specifically, paper is focused on usage scenario of indexing a personal image collection.
