[ Image Search ]

Image and Video search done right

• Automatic detection and recognition of object features.

• Advanced classification and grouping.

• Decision management platform to allow or prohibit content.

Whether published, stored, or shared, large amounts of photographs and videos are now being distributed electronically.  Controlling visual content is becoming a critical and time-consuming function for many enterprises.

FileIndexing automatically analyzes and classifies the flow of visual content.  It enables:

• Searching images and videos for desired images, image attributes, or objects
• Filtering and classifying incoming images and videos
• Performing “exact match” and “close match” with pre-selected image types of interest
• Customizing the decision management platform.Anenterprise could:
   
  • Automatically prohibit or allow “exact match” images and videos, and flag content source for possible further action.
  • Route “close match” to administrator to prohibit or allow content.
  • Automatically prohibit or allow images with very low match to images of interest.

Real-time image analysis and indexing

An enterprise can filter data in real-time with FileIndexing.  First, the system analyzes an image or video dataflow by disaggregating it into its component visual features (shape, color, texture, etc). This dataflow is then turned into digital signals which are then compared with a stored library of visual images, identifying to what degree the content matches any image in the library.  A host of decisions can then be made regarding the content.

Function

Image Search – Users could bring back search results finding exact matches and close matches of photographs and videos with others in the image library or elsewhere

Filter – Enterprises can prevent unwanted visual content from being loaded to a system.  FileIndexing returns a customized score for each image, allowing an administrator to take action accordingly (block, quarantine, deliver, etc).

Visual categories

Several recognition categories have been configured (e.g., pornography).   Since FileIndexing is a learning tool, other categories can be expanded and developed manually by users.  Virtually any sought after image category can be configured.

Examples

Configurations
 

• FileIndexing products can be used internally by corporate functions within enterprises (e.g., screening incoming content posted by users for pornography) or externally by end-user customers of media assets (e.g, searching for photo or video content by users of an image sharing website).
• Internal use products come preconfigured with a base to detect pornographic images, and allow the addition of an unlimited number of additional bases, such as for hate object detection (e.g., swastikas), for exact match detection of missing or exploited children, and for trademark object detection (e.g., golden arches).

Architecture

• Scalable and compliant with high availability clustered architecture.
• Computation cache (for large volumes of images).

Intergration

• Microsoft .Net framework.

Supported files

• Supported image formats: jpg, gif, bmp, etc.
• Supported video formats: mpeg, avi, etc.

 System requirements

• Dual Intel or AMD processor with 2 GHz or higher.
• 2GB of RAM (recommended).
• Windows XP/2000 Professional/2003.
