Products that incorporate the
eVe
Technology

Digital photographs, video, and audio content are growing at an unprecedented rate. Finding the content you want can be challenging at best. Search technologies generally rely on key words and file tags that are exterior to the perceptual content. If the image or video contains a symbol, object, face, or color that isn't referenced by the exterior tag, you will never find it without manually reviewing every piece of content.

For example:

  • How does a CNN video journalist find a specific clip from their extensive library of video tapes, ranging from historical to contemporary, from sports to humanities? Or how does a newspaper journalist find photos that contain specific content?
  • How do engineering and architectural users look for certain drawings or schematics?
  • How do creative directors look for images with specific color, shapes, or compositions?
  • How do consumers organize and search the content of personal photos and video tapes of family events, travel scenes, or social gatherings?
eVe analyzes, indexes, and retrieves images, video, and audio content according to their perceptual features and context.

eVe provides the most advanced visual search solution that is commercially available in the world today. It analyzes photographs, designs, illustrations, video, audio waveforms, or other visual media and produces a description of the content for cataloging and searching. The robust eVe API can successfully be adapted to both professional and consumer markets on a commercial or enterprise scale.

In order to provide customers with a broad range of complete solutions, eVision products have integrated support for a number of strategic platforms and technologies.

How eVe Works:

eVe automatically distills rich-media content into representative visual characteristics (color, shape, texture, and object) to generate visual signatures. These visual signatures are then organized using a powerful indexing scheme for extremely fast image search & retrievals.
