In that vein, check this out: http://groups.csail.mit.edu/vision/TinyImages/ It has been developed for categorization and relies on a massive database to assign labels to images automatically. However, the basic method is fairly simple and can probably be used without the database: All photos are scaled down to 32x32 and then a locality sensitive hashing function is computed. This hash, in contrast to most common hashes, keeps similarity. Therefore, it can be used to search for images which are very similar to an input image. This could be used to implement a "show me similar images to this one" function which does not rely on color histograms. I've been meaning to implement it myself, but won't get around to it until at least October, so if someones wants to give it a shot in the meantime, its not that difficult. cheers, > cheers > adam > > On 08/25/2010 07:17 AM, Ingo Lütkebohle wrote: >> On 25.08.2010 14:42, Vincent wrote: >> >>> Is there any new about hierarchical tags?<http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1401> >>> Is it still a good candidate for 0.8?
