Google Image Search imgcolor= Parameter Allows Results Filtering by Color
- jrnkntl 18y agoReminds me of this great piece of coding/data mining: http://labs.ideeinc.com/multicolr/#colors=ea977e,5c259a http://labs.ideeinc.com/multicolr/#colors=ea977e,5c259a;

- jodrellblank 18y agoReminds me of the "find pictures on flickr by drawing" site Retrievr: http://labs.systemone.at/retrievr/ http://labs.systemone.at/retrievr/
- kbrower 18y agohow long has this thing been around? http://www.google.com/advanced_image_search http://www.google.com/advanced_image_search looks like you can search for faces and line art as well
- sgk284 18y agoYou can combine the face search with color: http://images.google.com/images?imgcolor=purple&hl=en&q=color&btnG=Search+Images&imgtype=face http://images.google.com/images?imgcolor=purple&hl=en...

A search for "White Shirt" with imgcolor=red Fun results
- davidbnewquist 18y agoGood idea, but the results remind me of a Target commercial:P If you switch the query to "dog bullseye" with imgcolor=red, 10 out of the first 20 results show the Target dog. If you remove the color restriction, only 5/10 feature the dog. So this feature potentially aids search accuracy.
- davidbnewquist 18y agoKeyword based searching definitely has limitations. If a search keyword does not appear in the context of any "good" documents you're searching for, the search engine will not return any "good" results. In the example above, a search for "bull terrier" and imgcolor=red only returned 1/20 "good" result. And "bull terrier" has high semantic relevance. This is because the authors of the "good" documents I was looking for (e.g. the Target dog) rarely use "bull terrier" in the document context. Plus keyword based search engines can be easily hacked to associate garbage with certain keywords. I guess a color parameter would be considered semantic search? Here's a cool link (new today) about google integrating more semantic search features. http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/161890/semantic_search_could_secure_googles_future.html http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/161890/semanti...
- andrewljohnson 18y agoI found that if you search for bikini, then adding an imgcolor really hurts the quality of results.
- hajrice 18y agoWOW! IN my opinion Google is the best company ever. I don't mean this just cause of their products, nor there awesome work environment. Google has extreme pottential and really they make us all happy when they launch a new, cool feature.
- davidbnewquist 18y agoIt would be nice to submit an image as the search query and have results ordered by color histogram euclidean distance. Result pics would be of similar color and would probably often contain similar objects.
