About eVe
The eVe (eVision Visual Engine) toolkit lets Java developers create object-based visual search applications for intuitive, accurate and rapid access to content for digital asset management, categorization and e-commerce. The user selects a sample query image or partial image, then the search engine finds and ranks other images that are visually similar with respect to the objects in the image and attributes such as color, texture, shape and 3D shading. This technology can be applied to image content, video content, audio content and any other digital pattern.
The 100% Java-based SDK includes both a high level and low level API and supports both text and image based searches. A 500 image version of the toolkit is free to corporate and freelance developers to evaluate the API and experiment with building Visual Search applications.
