The image similarity algorithm implementation didn’t change at all. What got improved was memory usage, support for multiple image databases among other smaller changes.

Hi! What is the main difference between the desktop and the server realisation of the image similarity algorithm ? Source code has a dissimilarity in files imgdb.cpp.

@khaled:

It’s already available as a Java library with JNI bindings wrapped via SWIG at

https://imgseek.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/imgseek/trunk/net.imgseek.imgdb

but more details and compiling instructions are missing from the
website. I’ll try to write some later.

@ANurag:

There have been some minor changes (speed optimizations actually) to the image querying algorithm from the desktop version to the server version but results should be really similar. Can you please send me by email some sample images and queries?

@Daniel:

This problem seems to be affecting Fedora Linux only. Unfortunately I have been unable to reproduce it. Can you try renaming _imgdb.so into imgdb.so?

Please ignore .pyd files, they are the Windows version of .so modules.

Years ago PIL offered a complicated (and hard to compile against) low-level C-API for doing raw image pixel reading. I’ll see how things are today.

I am running the desktop and server version of imgSeek. However, similar image results for given input are totally different,
Is there problem in my configuration or can I change the server version to behave more like the client?

I want to use the APIs to build my web pages as isk-daemon client in the localhost.
I have already installed isk-daemon server, and it works well.
To communicate with imageDB, the system is required to install PHP5-curl.
But I don’t know how to install PHP5-curl on window.
(I have curl_7.17.1, window vista)

Could any one help me?

Of course I forgot some important details:

fedora 3
python 2.5.1
ImageMagick 6.2.2.0-2

BTW, any chance of dropping imagemagick and using PIL instead?
