I'm not sure whether this is very suitable for a webapp since it might require quite some computation, and will generally operate on databases of pictures that might be a pain to upload. It's certainly possible though. Maybe we should think about a platform which allows it to be used both locally and as a webapp. > But please keep in mind that SIFT will *not* work for the typical > streetsign because SIFT looks for features, which are typically not present > in the 'easy to understand' signs (because they use colours). > Which.. I of course read minutes after the application deadline expiring. ;) - No sweat, I'll read up on the subject a bit more and keep on adding new ideas to the proposal on the wiki. SIFT *might* be able to do some of it's work on features typically present in street-signs. For example: Many street signs have a white bar around them. Otherwise we will have to trust on the color-histogram matching, and I'll think about other feature detectors to use as well.
