    Hi guys..! Sorry for the delay..!


    One of the Research Project going on there is FISH.

    FISH means Fast Image Search on Huge DataBase. While searching the images, we will get number of images of different sizes and different models. So, to reduce our searching time, they are designing a project named FISH. If we want a bus picture, then simply mention the name bus in that search engine. Then it displays some10 pictures of buses of different sizes, different dimensions and differerent models. So, we have to select a picture from them based on our requirement(like dimensions, models). Then it displays a number of bus pictures of different colors with our required dimensions and specifications..! So that the time complexity is very less in this search engine..!
