Using ColdFusion to Search Images Based on Color
Want to be able to search you digital photographs or images based on color using ColdFusion?
I have created a color search demo page and an information page that explains the process of indexing and searching colors in images

Any chance of getting the info page in a PDF format? This is great info and I wanted to print it out so I could study it, but the scrolling text areas always cut off the code (no matter what browser I use).
I already have a couple of uses for this idea. Thanks!
There are quite a few possibilities with a system/method that is able to index colors in areas of an image. It’s not only possible to search for colors but it is possible to search for color & patterns in the subareas.
That means you could sketch some shapes and colors and search images that have similar patterns. It would also be able to search for patterns based on existing images. So catalogs of images or frames of digital video could be searched for a match on an image of a chair for example. Obviously this is much beyond the simple example that I showed.
Hey who knows maybe orthophotos could be indexed and searched for patterns that indicate certain conditions based on tree or ground colors/patterns.
Thx in advance, Pirre
great Tool! I use it for indexing our intranet image database. Works great!!
