About the Project
This project incorporates several technologies to realise the image searching functions. Proprietary format images are provided to the system as input. These are decompressed into a common image type and processed through OCR (optical character recognition) to produce a list of search terms for each image. Search for indexed images is performed through a web based interface.
System Key Components
- OCR Enginge: Processes Droid images to extract search terms.
- Indexing and Search: Databasing and indexing technologies used to represent and store data in a searchable form.
- Search Interface: A web browser based interface serving as the user's main entry point to the system. Allows a user to search the image database.
