I'm sure you've heard the Woody Allen quote that 80% of success is showing up. How do you increase your chances of selling an image by 80%? Ensure that people find your image on the net.


We wrote about software that recognizes and describes images in words, but let's face it, the current image search methods depend mainly on the use of image descriptions and links associated with an image.


First of all, FeaturePics will continue to improve a lot of things on it's end. We are making the site more user friendly. In the meantime, you can help us a lot by describing your images more effectively.


The main information you supply about your image is, image title, image description (caption), and key words.

Photography by Lilya Corneli

"Like a single note of a piano struck that sets other strings within to vibrating in response, a unique artistic voice can set our soul ringing."

I like how the photos seem to be painted.
Lilia applies her magic laces, flounces, and fabric textures to transform photographs to realistic appearing paintings.
I can’t tell the exact process she uses to create the graceful beauty of theatrical images.
Any ideas?

Better, More Accurate Image Search

Better, More Accurate Image Search

By modifying a common type of machine-learning technique, researchers have found a better way to identify pictures.




Finding photos: A new algorithm developed at UCSD that adds word tags to images can increase image-search accuracy and efficiency. Above, features from a picture are assigned a likelihood that they belong in certain categories, such as “water” or “person.” Credit: Gustavo Carneiro, Antoni B. Chan, Pedro J. Moreno, and Nuno Vasconcelos


Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), have developed a new image-search method that they claim outperforms existing approaches "by a significant margin" in terms of accuracy and efficiency.


The researchers' approach modifies a typical machine-learning method used to train computers to recognize images, says Nuno Vasconcelos, professor of electrical and computer engineering at UCSD.


The result is a search engine that automatically labels pictures with the names of the objects in it, such as "radish," "umbrella," or "swimmer." And because the approach uses words to label and classify parts of pictures, it lends itself nicely to typical keyword searches that people perform on the Web, says Vasconcelos.


...


For instance, consider submitting an image of a dog on a lawn. The objects in the pictures are analyzed and compared with results for known categories of objects, such as dogs, cats, or fish. Then the computer provides a statistical analysis that gives the likelihood that a picture matches those categories.


The system might score the picture with a 60 percent probability that the main object is a dog and a 20 percent probability that it is a cat or a fish. Thus, the computer deems that, in all likelihood, the picture contains an image of a dog. "The key idea is to represent images in this semantic space," Moreno says. "This seems to improve performance significantly."

Color palettes from famous paintings and a color palette generator

Van Gogh used colors to express moods and emotions—or as he said, "to suggest any emotion of an ardent temperament."

Vincent's Room, Arles 1888; Vincent Van Gogh Foundation, Amsterdam

It is one of my favorites. I used http://www.degraeve.com/color-palette/ to generate the pallete. And I love it!
