Basically Lire allows you to create a ranked list of results based on some similarity metric aong with a low level image feature. However, some times you need a filtering or re-ranking process to take place afterwards. Common use cases are if Lire search is applied to a large database on a fast but not very precise feature (e.g. hashing) and the resulting list has to be re-ranked accoring to a global feature. Re-ranking can also employ extended analysis method like LSA (latent semantic analysis).

Using a different feature

public void testRerankFilter() throws IOException {
    // search
    System.out.println("---< searching >-------------------------");
    IndexReader reader = IndexReader.open(FSDirectory.open(new File(indexPath)));
    Document document = reader.document(0);
    ImageSearcher searcher = ImageSearcherFactory.createAutoColorCorrelogramImageSearcher(100);
    ImageSearchHits hits = searcher.search(document, reader);
    // rerank
    System.out.println("---< filtering >-------------------------");
    RerankFilter filter = new RerankFilter(ColorLayout.class, DocumentBuilder.FIELD_NAME_COLORLAYOUT);
    hits = filter.filter(hits, document);
 
    // output
    FileUtils.saveImageResultsToHtml("filtertest", hits, document.getFieldable(DocumentBuilder.FIELD_NAME_IDENTIFIER).stringValue());
}

Using LSA

public void testLsaFilter() throws IOException {
    // search
    System.out.println("---< searching >-------------------------");
    IndexReader reader = IndexReader.open(FSDirectory.open(new File(indexPath)));
    Document document = reader.document(0);
    ImageSearcher searcher = ImageSearcherFactory.createCEDDImageSearcher(100);
    ImageSearchHits hits = searcher.search(document, reader);
    // rerank
    System.out.println("---< filtering >-------------------------");
    LsaFilter filter = new LsaFilter(CEDD.class, DocumentBuilder.FIELD_NAME_CEDD);
    hits = filter.filter(hits, document);
 
    // output
    FileUtils.saveImageResultsToHtml("filtertest", hits, document.getFieldable(DocumentBuilder.FIELD_NAME_IDENTIFIER).stringValue());
}
