System and method for enabling image recognition and searching of images

TLDR
In this article, the authors programmatically analyze each of a plurality of images in order to determine one or more visual characteristics about an item shown in each of the images, and then a search operation is performed to identify items that have a visual characteristic that satisfies at least some of the search criteria.
Abstract
Embodiments programmatically analyze each of a plurality of images in order to determine one or more visual characteristics about an item shown in each of the plurality of images. Data is stored corresponding to the one or more visual characteristics. An interface in is provided for which a user is able to specify one or more search criteria. In response to receiving the one or more search criteria, a search operation is performed to identify one or more items that have a visual characteristic that satisfies at least some of the one or more search criteria.

System and method for measuring image similarity based on semantic meaning

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for deriving a plurality of semantic categories for representing important semantic cues in images, where each semantic category is modeled through a combination of perceptual features that define the semantics of that category and that discriminate that category from other categories, forming a set of the perceptual features comprising required features and frequently occurring features.
