- Visual Search Contest Winners!
A few weeks ago, the good folks at Idée brought you the Visual Search Lab with a little iPod Shuffle contest. In the Visual Search Lab you can use Idée’s Visual Search technology to search for visually similar images in a 3 million image collection. The image collection used for this lab is Alamy’s image collection.
We had some fantastic submissions which made our winner selection a bit difficult so we increased the number of winners. So if your name appears below you will be contacted and you will soon receive your winning iPod Shuffle. Congratulations!

- Multicolour Search Lab
Colour vision from Idée!
Today we launch the Idée Multicolour Search Lab. In this lab you can search Alamy’s 2.8 million images using multicolours, yes all the colours of the rainbow if you want because when we say multicolour we mean exactly that. Select one colour or several to find images that contain those colours in real time. Everything is better in colour.
For the visual and image search fanatics out there, we have taken our algorithms to the next level: our search results don’t require an exact colour match and cope well with images that contain multiple colours going beyond simple colour histogram matching.
By allowing you to select multiple colours we give you the ability to search for images that match a palette of colours. Want an image with lots of green and just some red? No problem.
Want rainbows? No problem.
And of course none of this would be relevant if it was not for performance and speed! Our super fast visual search engine performs a live colour search in this set of 2.8 million images in a fraction of a second.
So go play and ping us with your feedback. Comment below. Happy searching!
