The Wyki CBIR Engine

Most image search systems today work by examining subject tags that have been manually associated with images by administrators. The Wyki CBIR Engine offers an additional approach that automatically extracts interesting information about the visual content of images.

A demonstrated application automatically relates images inside a database based upon visual characteristics such as scene or harmony, offering designers a powerful means of discovering images. Wyki CBIR can also produce information about images to be used as the input to other processes and systems, for example the automatic tagging of images (ALiP), the improvement of existing tag-based image search, detection of pornography within user generated content, and the grouping of images by scene from sources such as digital cameras.
