| Ausführliche Beschreibung | This package includes gift-guide, configuring-and-hacking-the-gift and
the doxygen reference tree. The application is contained in the gnuift
package.
.
The GIFT (the GNU Image-Finding Tool) is a Content Based Image
Retrieval System (CBIRS). It enables you to do Query By Example on
images, giving you the opportunity to improve query results by
relevance feedback. For processing your queries the program relies
entirely on the content of the images, freeing you from the need to
annotate all images before querying the collection.
.
The GIFT comes with a tool which lets you index whole directory trees
containing images in one go. You then can use the GIFT server and its
client, to browse your own image collections.
.
The GIFT is an open framework. The developers explicitly have taken
into account the possibility of adding new ways of querying to the
framework. The communication protocol for client-server communication,
MRML, is XML based and fully documented (http://www.mrml.net). This
aims at promoting code reuse among researchers and application
developers.
.
To avoid a name clash with the "gift" package (a fasttrack filesharing
client), these packages have been named "gnuift" (also to stress that
gnuift is a GNU project).
