Choose a more suitable indexed image archive

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Chromatik doesn't appear to be a reliable image index, because of the lack of support by its operator Exalead. Possible alternatives are:

  • Flickr
    • well supported and reliable
    • only 16 colours available and multiple colours per query (undocumented, but available)
    • search by (visual) types and categories (undocumented, but available)
  • Imagga multi-colour search
    • not yet available, but free access, as soon as testing begins
    • intelligent colour clustering
    • full RGB range, up to 5 weighted colours per query
    • can distinguish between foreground and background colours
  • Picturelicious
    • requires self-hosting
    • only clandestine image archive use readily available
    • very simple indexing approach, no clustering
    • full RGB range and an arbitrary amount of colours per query
