Many works have devoted to exploring local region information including both the information of the local features in local region and their spatial relationships, but none of these can provide a compact representation of the information. To achieve this, we propose a new approach named Local Visual Similarity (LVS). LVS first calculates the similarities among the local features in a local region and then forms these similarities as a single vector named LVS descriptor. In our experiments, we show that LVS descriptor can preserve local region information with low dimensionality. Besides, experimental results on two public datasets also demonstrate the effectiveness of LVS descriptor.
