-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Image retrieval software (network, matlab). Hao Cheng (haoc@ucf) http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/~haocheng/ 2006, 2008. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Client/Server programs to support image retrieval: Client side program submits retrieval query (query parameters and positive/negative samples) to the network server. The server side program takes the query and creates the MATLAB engine instance. Based on the submitted query option, the corresponding MATLAB script in the file query_script.txt, is located and loaded in MATLAB. The query is executed and result images are returned and displayed in the client side. Client was coded in Object Pascal, Delphi 6. Server was coded in C (Visual Studio 2003). The program was written in June, 2006. Instruction: unzip the compressed package, and put it in C:\demo. The folders are: C:\demo\data, C:\demo\client, C:\demo\server. First, run the server, C:\demo\server\Release\queryproc.exe Then, run the client, C:\demo\client\imgv.exe. As there are sample images (400 images from COREL) included in this distribution, the programs can be played around freely. If the programs are put in other folders, then the directory information in the source code (at the beginning) should be modified accordingly and rebuilt. Note: query_script.txt: modify this file to test new query algorithms. directory \data: modify files in this folder to use your own data for retrieval. The server side is implemented using MATLAB application program interface. The client side uses an open-source Flat style control component developed by afalinasoft. To compile the project, this library is needed and can be downloaded from the http://www.afalinasoft.com/.
