NAME

       pixelize - Create an image consisting of many small images

SYNOPSIS

       pixelize

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       pixelize is a program that will use many scaled down images to try to duplicate, as closely as possible, another image.

       pixelize  works	by splitting up the image you want rendered (or duplicated) into a grid of small rectangular areas. Each area is analyzed,
       and replaced with an image chosen from a large database of images.  pixelize tries to pick images that best matches each area.

       Note: Before running pixelize you have to create an image database (a file called pic_db.dat) using the make_db(1) utility.

OPTIONS

       None.

NAME

       gnuift -- GNU Image Finding Tool - index and search images by content

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the gnuift and gift-*       commands.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       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.

       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.

       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.

       The current version of the GIFT can be seen in action at http://viper.unige.ch/demo/

       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/.

       The gnuift-doc package contains reference manuals, configuration hints and further information.
