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.
</para><para>
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.
</para><para>
The GIFT is an open framework for content-based image retrieval. We
explicitly have taken into account the possibility of adding new ways
of querying to the framework. Our 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.
</para><para>
The current version of the GIFT can be seen in action at
http://viper.unige.ch/demo/
</para><para>
The GIFT (ex Viper) is the result of a research effort at the Vision
Group at the CUI (computer science center) of the University of Geneva
(see http://vision.unige.ch/). This cutting-edge research has been the
subject of several publications and conference talks. Details can be
found at http://viper.unige.ch/.
