La rercherche d’images par similitude

mardi 23 mai 2006

Searching for pictures needn’t take a thousand words. An experimental search engine helps you find images based on colors, textures or characteristics similar to a reference image.

Generally speaking, images pose more of a challenge for search engine developers than words on web pages. Why ? Words on a web page are called text strings, made up of individual characters, and characters are stored in computer memory as unique numbers. It’s comparatively easy for a search engine to recognize and manipulate text strings, because they form recognizable patterns that can be compared to one another.
