Abstract

Image processing is a powerful technology that can be used to analyze an image for many useful purposes. However, software like this is often out of the typical user´s reach, ilmage directly confronts this problem. The ilmage application takes the sophisticated technologies of image analysis and identification based on MPEG-7 image feature tools and makes them readily available on the go. With the use of the iPhone Source Development Kit, ilmage has become an application that is available on the world´s most popular mobile device. The user simply takes a photo using the iPhone´s built in camera, and in seconds appear similar images with relevant information from within our database.
