Hi everyone :) ,
I am doing a final year project for my bachelors degree in software
engineering and what I want to do is to develop a framework for a
Content Based Image Retrieval system which will sup****t querying by
text and query with an example image.
What I have in mind is to take a set of images from a site like Flickr
(are there any other freely available APIs which give access to large
sets images?) and let the framework classify the images based on maybe
color, shape or texture (not decided on which of those features to
consider) and also to perform automatic image annotation from a fixed
vocabulary (so that query by text will be sup****ted) and index them
and store them in a way for easy retrieval. This framework will also
store the images in such a way that basic feature matching can also be
done if an image is given in order to retrieve similar images.
I am very new to image processing, but i thought that this was a
challenging idea. I would like to know what programming languages I
should use in order to carry out this task and also a basic
introduction as to how I should attempt it. Like automatic image
annotation, indexing and storing techniques .
Please help me :)
Thanks a lot
Ducky :)
