Looking at Image Searching

John Gartner at Wired News takes an interesting look at the future of image searching in the article: Search Looks at the Big Picture.

Chris is quoted about how future image search technology (the ability to search “inside” an image versus searching words surrounding an image) might be a “lucrative” way for advertisers to reach consumers.

Gartner goes on to discuss research that Xerox is doing in Europe that can find can recognize everyday objects in digital images. He also touches on the Marvel project at IBM to auto categorize images from video. More about Marvel and video searching in this SEW blog post from September.
