#13 Machine learning to cluster images based on their visual content #13
Description
Image databases are mostly text databases with attached images. However, there are many image collections that have not yet been cataloged and are as such not searchable. Providing descriptive metadata to images is cumbersome and tedious. It would be extremely helpful if the images can be pre-ordered, that is clustered, based on image content. E.g providing clusters of similar images regarding the visual appearance would be great. Let’s explore how machine learning can help to cluster images according to shape, color, forms, etc. The DaSCH will provide some large collections of digitized photographic images for this purpose.
