Text-Based and Content-Based Image Retrieval on Flickr: DEMO

We present an image retrieval system based on a combined search of text and content. The idea is to use the text present in title, description, and tags of the images for improving the results obtained with a standard content-based search. The system contains two different user interfaces: a sidebar for the browser designed for end users, where the user must enter the Flickr URL that is visiting and the system retrieves similar images from the collection, and an advanced search designed for experienced users, where the distance functions and weights can be customized.
