Visual search applications for connecting published works to digital material

Published: 25 October 2010 Publication History

Abstract

Visual search connects physical (offline) objects with (online) digital media. Using objects from the environment, like newspapers, magazines, books and posters, we can retrieve supplemental information from the online world. In this demonstration, we show a framework for delivering visual search services to users of mobile devices. We show how users can point a mobile device at any location in a document, magazine or book to view related, online material on the device. We describe client applications now being deployed for the iPhone and the server architecture used for recognition of scanned images.
