Subject: Q&A : FIRE (Flexible Image Retrieval Engine) sources available
FIRE is an extensible image retrieval engine that was developed to
investigate the impact of different features for content-based image
retrieval. The system was used in the 2004 ImageCLEF evaluation and
obtained the best results for the medical task using only visual
information. The system also gives very good results for general color
photographs using invariant color features and Tamura texture
histograms.
FIRE contains lots of different feature extraction tools, distance
measures, and tools for performance evaluation.
The source code, a demo, and further information about FIRE is available
online at
