V&A Museum puts image retrieval on display
The Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum is introducing an image matching and retrieval system to allow staff to quickly search its multimedia archive. If staff members have a picture of an item they want to search for, it can be submitted into the database which will look for similar images, says photographic manager James Stevenson, who says the system will make it easier for the V&A to manage its collection if the system works well, the V&A will eventually make it available to collection users such as academic researchers.
