Abstract

In this paper we introduce a system for the identification of visual documents. Since it stems from content-based document indexing and retrieval, our system does not need to rely on textual annotations, watermarks or other metadata, which can be missing or incorrect. Our retrieval system is based on local descriptors, which have been shown to provide accurate and robust description. Because of the high computational costs associated to the matching of local descriptors, we propose Projection KD-Forest: an indexing technique which allows efficient approximate k nearest neighbors search. Experiments demonstrate that the Projection KD-Forest allows the system to provide prompt results with negligible loss on accuracy. The Projection KD-Forest also compares well when contrasted to other strategies of k nearest neighbors search.
