Caliph & Emir 0.9.21 Released

February 19, 2006 on 2:54 pm | | In CaliphEmir, General, Releases | No Comments

The newest release of Caliph & Emir (v 0.9.21) features a configuration dialog for Emir, result visualization and export of results to html, a faster EdgeHistogram descriptor, some bug fixes and some cleanups of the UI. The standards compliance of the resulting MPEG-7 file in Caliph was fixed (thx to Daniel Poetzinger) and the image analysis section has been partially re-written (many duplicate classes were deleted and the code is now more Java like and faster). Behind the scenes two new metrics for graphs have been added, which can be used for repository visualization.

To try the new releases please download the binaries of the Windows installer (note that Java 5.0 has to be installed separately) or try the Java Web Start versions of Caliph & Emir
