Each image of a set of images is characterized with a set of sparse feature descriptors and a set of dense feature descriptors. In some embodiments, both the set of sparse feature descriptors and the set of dense feature descriptors are calculated based on a fixed rotation for computing texture descriptors, while color descriptors are rotation invariant. In some embodiments, the descriptors of both sparse and dense features are then quantized into visual words. Each database image is represented by a feature index including the visual words computed from both sparse and dense features. A query image is characterized with the visual words computed from both sparse and dense features of the query image. A rotated local Bag-of-Features (BoF) operation is performed upon a set of rotated query images against the set of database images. Each of the set of images is ranked based on the rotated local Bag-of-Features operation.
