All releases of Caliph & Emir
Release Notes: This is mainly a maintenance release: Scalable Color descriptor extraction was fixed, and yields the same results as the MPEG-7 reference software. EdgeHistogramImpl has been updated. The DominantColor class was adapted. PPM and BMP images are now supported. Note that Java 6.0 is required for the binary version and 1.5 for compilation.
Release Notes: This release focuses on the visualization of repositories and search results in Emir. Holding Alt while turning the mouse wheel now changes the size of thumbnails in the visualization, and the movement within the visualization has been fixed. Furthermore, it includes library updates and a new demo mode (an endless loop of iterative arrangement in visualization) in Emir.
Release Notes: This release brings some whole new and configured metrics for result and repository visualization. The Suffix Tree Graph Metric has been tuned and evaluated, and the BM-25 weighting scheme has been applied to path based graph comparison. Lucene, Looks, and Metadata-Extractor libraries were updated, and some small issues were resolved.
Release Notes: This release features a configuration dialog for Emir, result visualization and export of results to HTML, a faster EdgeHistogram descriptor, some bugfixes, and some cleanup of the UI. The standards compliance of the resulting MPEG-7 file in Caliph was fixed, and the image analysis section has been partially re-written (many duplicate classes were deleted and the code is now more Java-like and faster). Behind the scenes, two new metrics for graphs have been added, which can be used for repository visualization.
Release Notes: This release features the ability to export JPEG, PNG, and SVG (if Batik is in the classpath) images of semantic descriptions from within Caliph. Structured text annotations can now be copied to free text by using the F8 key. Some icons and their handling within IconCache have changed. Loading of images in Caliph is now much faster. In Emir, search results can now be visualized using the main menu. Several bugfixes have been applied. The log4j library is no longer needed. swing-layout and metadata-extractor have been updated. The test data has been overhauled.
Release Notes: Lots of user comments from a user centered evaluation have been considered, and feature and UI enhancements have been implemented. The look and feel has changed to be more smooth and appealing. Parts of the UI were refactored: labels are now more intuitive, icons were added, and dialogs are more user friendly. Behind the scenes, the Derby database was added for fast database driven content based image retrieval.
Release Notes: A DominantColor Descriptor Wrapper was added for the internal VisualDescriptor interface. A distance function for DominantColor was created and tested. DominantColor Extraction from non-rectangular pixel arrays was created and tested. Test classes were added to the source release in build.xml. default.mf is now created in the ant build file to integrate build date and number. Extraction, saving, and loading of DominantColor descriptor was added to Caliph, as well as a panel where the result can be proven.
Release Notes: This release the new shape annotation panel for Caliph. Now simple shapes (closed paths) can be drawn onto the images, and the dominant color is calculated and can be set manually. All the shapes are stored within the MPEG-7 description of the image.
