Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an image re-ranking method, which includes: performing image searching by using an initial keyword, obtaining, by calculation, an anchor concept set of a search result according to the search result corresponding to the initial keyword, obtaining, by calculation, a weight of a correlation between anchor concepts in the anchor concept set, and forming an anchor concept graph ACG by using the anchor concepts in the anchor concept set as vertexes and the weight of the correlation between anchor concepts as a weight of a side between the vertexes; acquiring a positive training sample by using the anchor concepts, and training a classifier by using the positive training sample; obtaining a concept projection vector by using the ACG and the classifier; calculating an ACG distance between images in the search result corresponding to the initial keyword; and ranking the images according to the ACG distance.
