New Content Based Image Search and Retrieval Engine Debuts: xcavator

We've written numerous posts about content-based image retrieval for several years (CBIR) and also linked to several demos.

Today, we've learned about a new image engine demo named xcavator that utilizes content-based image retrieval. We haven't had time to put it through its paces just yet but we wanted to let you know about this new tool from a SF-based company named CogniSign.

+ Video demo.
+ Begin searching here. xcavator demonstrating its technology using a sample of images from the flickr database.
+ What makes it different? In this case you'll be searching for "similar" images by the actual makeup of the image. Put another way, CogniSign "spot[s] differences and similarities based on shapes, colors, image composition, object proximity, or a combination of these factors." We're all looking forward to spending some time with this one. For more on content-based image retrieval, see below.

Btw, since it's often about names, CogniSign calls its technology, "Intelligent Image Recognition Technology."

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.
