背景

Enabling quick and precise searches among millions of items on marketplaces is a key feature for e-commerce. The use of common text-based search engines often requires several iterations and can render unsuccessful unless exact product names are known. Image-based search provides a powerful alternative and can be particularly handy when a customer observes the desired product in real life, in movies or online media.

能够在市场上数百万种商品中快速准确地搜索是电子商务的一个关键功能。使用常见的基于文本的搜索引擎通常需要多次迭代，除非知道确切的产品名称，否则可能会失败。基于图像的搜索提供了一种强大的选择，当客户在现实生活、电影或在线媒体中观察所需产品时，这种搜索尤其方便。

Recent progress in computer vision now provides rich and precise descriptors for visual content. The goal of this challenge is to benchmark and advance existing computer vision methods for the task of image-based product search. Our evaluation targets a real-case scenario where we use over 40k images for 9k products from real marketplaces. Example products include sandals and sunglasses, and their successful matching requires overcoming visual variations in images due changing viewpoints, background clutter, varying image quality and resolution.

计算机视觉的最新进展为视觉内容提供了丰富而精确的描述符。这项挑战的目标是对现有的基于图像的产品搜索任务的计算机视觉方法进行基准测试和改进。我们的评估目标是一个真实的场景，我们使用来自真实市场的9k种产品的40k多张图片。例如凉鞋和太阳镜，它们的成功搭配需要克服由于视点变化、背景杂乱、图像质量和分辨率变化造成的图像视觉变化。

The challenge is organized in conjunction with Machines Can See Summit (MCS) that will be held in Dubai in the beginning of April 2023. The winners of the challenge will be invited to present their solutions at MCS 2023.

这项挑战是与将于2023年4月初在迪拜举行的“机器看得见”峰会(MCS)一起组织的。挑战的获胜者将被邀请在MCS 2023上展示他们的解决方案。

We hope this challenge will help advancing novel algorithms for image retrieval and practical applications of computer vision to e-commerce.

我们希望这项挑战将有助于推进图像检索的新算法，以及计算机视觉在电子商务中的实际应用。

Part4赛题描述

In this challenge we separate product images into user and seller photos. User photos are typically snapshots of products taken with a phone camera in cluttered scenes. Such images differ substantially from seller photos that are intended to represent products on marketplaces. We provide object bounding boxes to indicate desired products on user photos and use such images and boxes as search queries. Given a search query, the goal of the algorithm is to find correct product matches in the gallery of seller photos.

在这个挑战中，我们将产品图片分为用户照片和卖家照片。用户照片通常是在混乱的场景下用手机相机拍摄的产品快照。这些图片与卖家意在在市场上代表产品的照片有很大不同。我们提供对象包围框，在用户照片上显示想要的产品，并使用这些图像和框作为搜索查询。给定一个搜索查询，该算法的目标是在卖家照片库中找到正确的产品匹配。

Your submission should return a numpy array of size N x 1000, where each row r corresponds to the top-1000 list of gallery images sorted by the similarity with respect to the query image r, r = 1…N.

您的提交应该返回大小为N x 1000的numpy数组，其中每行r对应于按查询图像r的相似度排序的前1000个图库图像列表，r = 1…N。
