CorvusAlbus.com uses LIRE for Image Search

May 12, 2006 on 11:33 am | In General, Lire, Web2.0 |

Recently a friend of mine - Roman - put up his all fresh and newly created personal information portal CorvusAlbus featuring Web 2.0 client side encryption, photo and text blogs, excessive use of style sheets and javascript and …. Tada: similarity search for images. He included LIRE to allow users to search for similar photos.

When you browse through the photos (as shown in above screenshot) you will find a small find similar link on the topo right of the browser window. Using this you will get all images visually similar to the current one. One more hint for visiting CorvusAlbus: Don’t go there with MS Internet Explorer, it won’t help you much! Only FireFox, Opera and Konqueror are supported.
