Not exactly sure how one would put context of what object is more dominant than other. Think of landscape with snow, green mountains and set of flowers of varied colors including a rose On Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 8:43 PM, Shashi Kant sk...@sloan.mit.edu wrote: What I am envisioning (at

What I am envisioning (at least to start) is have all this add two fields in the index.  One would be for color information for the color similarity search.  The other would be a simple multivalued text field that we put keywords into based on what OpenCV can detect about the image.  If it

Yes, notice the flowers are all a medium-dark crimson red. There are a bunch of these image-indexing search technologies, but there is no (to my knowledge) finished technology- it's very much an area of research. If you want to search the word 'flower' and index data that can find blobs of

Lire looks promising, but how hard is it to integrate the content-based search into Solr as opposed to Lucene?  I myself am not a Java developer.  I have access to people who are, but their time is scarce. Lire is a nascent effort and based on a cursory overview a while back, IMHO was an
