View, Store, Share and
Visually Search Digital Photos and Digital Videos
ePhotoTM
Version 2.0 is now available!
ePhoto is the worlds first cross platform software
solution that enables digital photos and videos to
be viewed, stored, shared and visually searched.
It is available for Windows and Mac OS X.
Until now, the only way of finding images and
videos was to manually scroll through images
and videos one by one. Alternatively you could
manually assign keywords to each item for a
text-based search.
But using ePhoto's visual search, you can find
images or videos without scrolling and without
assigning keywords. After content is automatically
imported into ePhoto, it is immediately available
for search using purely the visual content. You
can tell ePhoto to find photos or video frames
that look similar to a sample image or that share
similar colors or shapes. Using advanced search,
you can find photos or videos that have similar
objects in them. With the QueryPad you can even
draw a rough sketch and ask ePhoto to find images
that are similar to your drawing.
ePhoto is based on the most advanced visual
search technology commercially available in the
world today. Written in pure Java and database
independent, the eVe Visual Search Technology will
run on any platform that supports a Java Virtual
Machine. With its small footprint, eVe can be
integrated into any operating system, toolset or
application.
