java based color image search system

[rooban]

Hi all , I need some help with developing a color image retrieval
system based on java. where can I get good help regarding the java
programming on this topic? I searched a lot of websites but no use.
please help.

thanks

You might want to look into a POD to store the images. see
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/pod.html.

You could store them in an SQL database, or as separate files and
serve them via HTML URLs.

The tricky part is how people find the image they want. How do you
categorise them? What kinds of searches do you want?

just checked. Yes I got your message. I have quite a bit of work on
my plate just now, so I can't take on any extensive freebie help.

I answer public questions, but if you want private coaching or
hand-holding through the project, you would have to hire me.

Here. Just ask.

Sure, but you'll have to be more specific.

How much do you expect and what is your rate like. can you do a full
working project for a given specification?

Thanks

Thanks for your replies guys. I'll look in to these websites bit later
as I'm in the middle of some important assignments. Basically my
project is about.........

Colour based image retrieval and indexing systems. The system should
retrieve a number images from a large database of images (say 300+
images). It should use the image colour property (RGB) to compare and
fetch the images. The user should be able to input a specific image
and ask the system to retrieve, say, 4, 10, 15 etc images which are
similar to the given image by their colour property. It doesn't sound
too much of a problem but my difficulty is using java to design this
system!! (((. I hope this gives you some idea about my project and
if you need any more specs please ask. I'll be very very very grateful
for any helps you could offer. many thanks.

I know a bit (no understatement here, I know just some basics) about
image retrieval, and for me it does sound like a problem. At least if
it has to be good.

One approach is to build a color histogram. Convert each of the three
samples R-G-B to a lower number of bits, fill a 3D histogram with all
pixels, store the histogram for each image in the database. For a
query, create the same type of histogram for the specified image and
compare it to what's in the database.

More sophisticated image retrieval systems work with feature vectors,
and whatever else they have come up with. It's hard.

I hope this gives you some idea about my project and
if you need any more specs please ask. I'll be very very very grateful
for any helps you could offer. many thanks.

If you really have figured out the algorithmic part, I think we can
help you with obstacles you experience doing a Java implementation.

Hi there, Thanks for your reply and as i was busy with my exams I
couldn't visit here regularly. As I'm free now i can concentrate
peacefully. Like you mentioned above, I'm after the RGB 3D image
processing to catagorise and retrieve the more likely images from the
database to the input. It seems you have some Idea about this. can you
please offer me any helps or ideas?

Thanks
