When checked out xappy, then go to "xappy-read-only/libs" and run "get_xapian.py" script. Then "sh build_xapian.sh" and everything went fine. Now, I'll try to run imgseek with xapian. Anyway, thanks for this work. Regards, Pierre Ok,

Everything went fine : - compile and install xapian-core - compile and install xapian-bindings - python setup.py xappy but when I try a python >> import xapian.imgseek, it doesn't find modeul imgseek. Have you got any clue ? Regards, Pierre Hi,

ImgSeek is fun, and I've used it in a demo, but it is in no way the only tool needed in this space. For any problem you want to solve, you have to pick a few of the available tools and assemble them. Face recognition, for example, is a completely different kettle of fish: you find a bunch of edges that form a graph roughly matching a face's edges. There is no Grand Unified Theory of image processing and recognition. Lance Image matching is a very complex field, and there are many algorithms and problem spaces.
