Solving the image search problem
CEans,
I was wondering if there's a way to search an image by uniquely identifying its contents. At present, the search engines rely on the tags & other textual metadata.
I've few ideas, but I'd like to listen to yours first. This could also be an interesting project and an idea for a startup! ;-)

Prasad AjinkyaYou could find out the boundary of all the shapes in that image, find out similar shapes from an existing library of basic shapes and do pattern matching. -
Ashraf HZAh yes, edge detection for finding the shapes could work!
Other than shapes, colour data can be useful too. I saw on Deviant Art where they have this palette thing to find other images with similar colours. -
anuragh27cronyand more usual method...Content Based Image Retrival (CBIR)..but i think success percentage is low around 40-45%
What is CBIR?
where you extract a feature vector from a image and search Database to search images with similar feature vectors..... -
Prasad AjinkyaFunnily enough, all the searches we discussed as yet, involve finding a particular type of metadata, and searching in that metadata!!
Is there another method where no metadata has to be generated?
