U.K. Seminar on Content-Based Image Retrieval
July 6, 2001: University of Northumbria, Newcastle upon Tyne
July 20, 2001 University of Manchester

This announcement for a two-part seminar on Content-Based Image
Retrieval (CBIR) serves as a reminder of the UK's JISC project on
CBIR and the associated web portal on CBIR established jointly by the
Institute for Image Data Research, University of Northumbria, and the
Manchester Visualization Centre, at the University of Manchester.

Retrieving images through features automatically extracted (such as
color, texture and shape) is a technology that is moving out of the
laboratory and into commercial products (Excalibur, QBIC and Virage).
However, the CBIR Portal indicates, there are still many unanswered
questions: "such as whether CBIR techniques can bring about
worthwhile improvements in performance with real-life image retrieval
systems, and where such techniques can most profitably be used."
Designed as an online resource on content-based image retrieval,
resources on the CBIR site "will provide links to current research
and development activities, algorithms and techniques, research
groups and projects, faq's, mailing lists, newsgroups, software and
application demos as well as related research papers, books,
journals, and conferences."
