Recently, numerous degraded images have flooded search engines and social networks, finding extensive and practical applications in the real world. However, these images have also posed new challenges to conventional image retrieval tasks. To this end, we introduce a new task of retrieving degraded images through deep hashing from large-scale databases, and further present the Locality-Sensitive Hashing Network (LSHNet) to tackle it in a self-supervised manner. More specifically, we first propose a triplet strategy to enable the self-supervised training of LSHNet in an end-to-end fashion. Due ...
