From: Thomas Deselaers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Q&A : FIRE (Flexible Image Retrieval Engine) sources available
FIRE is an extensible image retrieval engine that was developed to investigate the impact of different features for content-based image retrieval. The system was used in the 2004 ImageCLEF evaluation and obtained the best results for the medical task using only visual information. The system also gives very good results for general color photographs using invariant color features and Tamura texture histograms. FIRE contains lots of different feature extraction tools, distance measures, and tools for performance evaluation. The source code, a demo, and further information about FIRE is available online at http://www-i6.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/~deselaers/fire.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
