This guide assumes that you have already installed VISE and it is running.
- Open http://localhost:9971 in a web browser as shown in this screenshot
- Do not open
localhost:9971in multiple browser windows. Just use a single browser window - Once you have trained a search engine or loaded a search engine, you cannot load or train another search engine unless you restart (stop + start) VISE through Kitematic and revisit http://localhost:9971.
-
Create a new search engine by typing in the search engine name and pressing the Create button as shown in this screenshot
-
You will now be taken to the Setting page. Copy all your images to the local folder that maps to the docker folder
/opt/ox/vgg/mydata/images. For MacOS and Windows users, this folder is the local folder that was mapped to/opt/ox/vgg/mydata/imagesas described in Step 4 of the installation guide for MacOS and Windows. -
Now you will see an information page which contains the disk-space, memory and time required to make the images searchable as shown in this screenshot. If you are happy with these details, proceed ahead by pressing Proceed.
-
The main process of making images searchable begins now. This process involves going through different stages: Preprocessing, Stage-1 ... Stage-5. as shown in these screenshots:
- Once this process completed, you will be automatically forwarded to this URL http://localhost:9971 as shown in this screenshot -- where the list of images contain your images.
- Click on any of the images shown in the list
- Using mouse, define a rectangular region in the selected image (click and drag to draw a region)
- Press Search button at the bottom of the page
- Now, you will see a list of images ranked according to a score (higher score for better matching results)
- Click Detailed matches to see the details of matched image
- You can compare the query image region with region in search result using Image Comparison link at the bottom of this page
-
