Input Image Descriptions
Output Encoded the query description using the updated MatchingHint
Extraction YES
Client Appl Caculating the new distance between two images Application
Summary Using image descriptions (the one is query image, the others are reference images) and MatchingHint, caculate the new distance using the MatchingHint of the query image. And update the old MatchingHint(Hint values and reliablity) then encode the query description using the updated MatchingHint:
Strong Points .
Limitations Only descriptions for Image including visual Ds can be used as the input.
Known Problems .
