How to locate similar images in your collection?
imgSeek is a free open source software
for searching a collection of images using visual similarity,
and locating matching images.
Main features:
* You simply draw a rough sketch of what you want to find
and imgSeek displays for you a thumbnail view of the best matches.
* Query images similar to one in your collection by
double-clicking on its thumbnail.
* Group your photos by similarity for easy browsing. You
may also have them clustered automatically by color, date (group events
automatically using an adaptive clustering algorithm for time differences),
filename or image features.
* Edit metadata (description, camera, lens, etc) for
every image, and use them on the HTML albums generated or for searching photos.
You can also use custom metadata fields.
* EXIF and IPTC data found on JPEG/TIFF files are
automatically imported. (Read-only support)
* Advanced command-line utility to scan for new files,
query for similar images and show image metadata. (You may use it on your cron
system for example)
* Transform images or batches automatically: Place text
captions, change brightness, contrast, blur, etc. Apply lossless rotations
automatically if jpegtran is available.
* Generate HTML albums for the entire collection, a given
directory or similarity group
* Advanced keyword searching for metadata.
* Find all duplicate images on your collection with the
parameters you specify (dimensions, filesize, filename, similarity, average
luminance).
* Organize and browse pictures in groups with an easy
drag & drop interface. You can also perform advanced queries on groups (e.g.:
show me all images that belong to group A and B but not group C).
* Support for multiple volumes of pictures. You may
assign all images on a CD to a given Volume.
* Automatic thumbnail generation and caching. Using this
standard, which is also used by Gimp, Nautilus/Gnome, Rox Desktop, gThumb and
others.
* Supported file formats are jpg, gif, bmp, png, xbm, and
pnm. If you have ImageMagick installed, imgSeek will also support over 87 image
formats.
* Remember the way images should be displayed: If you
rotate an image 270 degrees, imgSeek will remember it and do the same the next
time you view this image.
* Export/Import metadata to/from CSV files and export a
batch or your collection to XML files, which can be later parsed by some other
tool to generate whatever you want.
* Rename a file or batch of files automatically: Replace
strings, convert to upper/lowercase, append a string, create numbered series,
etc.
* Add images to the database from a directory
recursively.
* User friendly interface that remembers typed queries
and drawn sketches for later usage.
* Slideshow for a given directory, whole collection or
for a chosen group of similar images. You can also delete and organize images
in groups with hotkeys.
* Browse images by thumbnail and view them on a preview
window.
* Browse your system files for images, and bookmark your
favorite directories. While browsing, you may query for similar images on your
collection.
