I’m considering using apache solr as the search backbone on my site.
Along with standard text based search of documents, I want to create an image search tool.
Are there any libraries that allow solr to create a search index of images in crawled websites?
Are there other, better, options available?
As @Mikos mentioned in the comments, what I was looking for is a Content Based Image Retrieval system. There does exist on for use with Apache SOLR and it’s called LIRe.
Here is a list of CBIR systems on Wikipedia.
Here is the tool that I’ve been investigating for use with a Linux based image search system I’m working on — The GNU Image Finding Tool – GIFT. This is open source and seems to be the right tool for the job when you already have the database of images.
