First, it leverages the imbalanced distribution of the similar and dissimilar samples in the feature space to boost the performance of each weak classifier in the asymmetric boosting framework. Then, the weak classifier based on a novel linear discriminate analysis （LDA） algorithm which is learned from the subspace of heterogeneous features is integrated into the framework. Finally, the proposed method deals with each bit of the code sequentially, which utilizes the samples misclassified in each round in order to learn compact and balanced code. The heterogeneous information from different modalities can be effectively complementary to each other, which leads to much higher performance. The experimental results based on the two public benchmarks demonstrate that this method is superior to many of the state- of-the-art methods. In conclusion, the performance of the retrieval system can be improved with the help of multiple heterogeneous features and the compact hash codes which can be learned by the imbalanced learning method.展开更多
