Notess Offers a Quick Look at retrievr: Another Way to Search for Images
Search engine guru and librarian, Greg Notess, offers a few comments about image engine, retrievr. This image database lets you search for content by color and pattern.
The underlying database is a small collection of Flickr images. It seems to work best with color matching and pronounced shapes. It does not match subject matter as well as text-based image search engines. But when looking for images with specific color patterns or overall shape combinations, this is the tool to use. It is still an experimental project, launched back in Dec. 2005, so it is nice to see it still running. It would be even more useful with a larger collection of images.
Greg is also nice enough to include a look at a few related types of tools that Gary posted while he was news editor at Search Engine Watch.
