LIRE - Lucene Image REtrieval
(A Homage to Lots of Great Holidays in Italy)==========================================================
The LIRE library allows the creation of a Lucene Index for content based image retrieval (CBIR). Furthermore methods for searching the index are provided.
This library is part of the Caliph & Emir project and aims to provide the CBIR features to other Java projects in an easy and light weight way.
