Introduction

In this work, we propose a novel Discriminative Deep Hashing (DDH) framework for large-scale face image retrieval. The proposed framework leverages feature extraction, hash learning and class prediction in one unified network. And the divide-and-encode module is introduced to reduce the redundancy among hash codes and the network parameters simultaneously. The proposed method can learn discriminative and compact hash codes. Experiments show that the proposed method achieves encouraging retrieval performance. DDH's framework is as follows:

Prerequisites

1. python 2.7.12
2. Keras 1.2.2
3. Theano 0.8.2

Data

We compress the dataset into pkl format for easy read by small memory machines.

The main parameters

1、For different datasets, you can try different hyper parameters corresponding to regularization and quantization errors. In our experiments, our settings are as follows:

LOSS_01_LAYER_PARAMS = 0.01

REGULARIZER_PARAMS = 0.0001

2、When RUN_OR_CHECK is True, it's train mode, you can set WEIGHTS_SAVE_PATH to set the weight of the save path. It's eval mode when RUN_OR_CHECK is False, you can set WEIGHTS_FILE_NAME to load the best weight.

3、In the eval mode, you can get the result of the precision, recall, map from the 'model_predict' function.
