This work proposes a simple instance retrieval pipeline based on encoding the
convolutional features of CNN using the bag of words aggregation scheme (BoW).
Assigning each local array of activations in a convolutional layer to a visual
word produces an \textit{assignment map}, a compact representation that relates
regions of an image with a visual word. We use the assignment map for fast
spatial reranking, obtaining object localizations that are used for query
expansion. We demonstrate the suitability of the BoW representation based on
local CNN features for instance retrieval, achieving competitive performance on
the Oxford and Paris buildings benchmarks. We show that our proposed system for
CNN feature aggregation with BoW outperforms state-of-the-art techniques using
sum pooling at a subset of the challenging TRECVid INS benchmark.

本文提出了一个基于卷积神经网络的局部特征编码和基于词袋模型的实例检索方法，该方法将每个卷积层中的局部激活函数数组映射到可视化词汇中，从而实现了空间重新排序和检索的目的，并在 Oxford 和 Paris buildings benchmarks 中取得了具有竞争力的性能表现。
