Hi all! I've put up some classes for storing content based MPEG-7 image descriptors in a lucene index and querying the stored descriptors to get "similar" images. In other words: I've put up a simple library for content based image retrieval powered by lucene.
The performance tests are quite promising as the retrieval is based on a linear search, but I'm afraid it is not suitable for enterprise searching. In my opinion searches in ~ 100.000 images should be ok. I'd appreciate feedback (as I just put it in 2 evenings :-) on: * How useful is the API? * Does it work well for use cases you imagine? * Is it fast enough? * Are the returned results useful? Known issues: One of the three MPEG-7 descriptors (namely EdgeHistogram) is painfully slow. I also identified the main bottlenecks, but I didn't get around yet fixing it.
