Finding similar images in a large database is an important, but often computationally expensive, task. In this paper, we present a two-tier similar-image retrieval system with the efficiency characteristics found in simpler systems designed to recognize near-duplicates. We compare the efficiency of lookups based on random projections and learned hashes to 100-times-more-frequent exemplar sampling. Both approaches significantly improve on the results from exemplar sampling, despite having significantly lower computational costs. Learned-hash keys provide the best result, in terms of both recall and efficiency.
