Imense launches semi-automatic keywording tool
Imense, a Cambridge (UK) company producing leading image recognition and retrieval software, has announced that it has launched a new product called Annotator, billed as a semi-automated keywording tool designed to dramatically reduce the time it takes for photographers to keyword their images. The tool uses special image recognition technology to detect and suggest keywords related to the number of people in the image, orientation, image type, presence of copy space, ethnic origin and age range, Etc. “With such dramatic acceleration in efficiency, blended with more commercially optimised keywording, Annotator is a step change in a traditionally slow and often ineffective process” says Tony Rowland, Director of Sales for imense.
In addition the tool is coupled with a vocabulary tool built to suggest keywords that sell images based on data gathered from a database of sold images. For example, if a photographer types in “Business”, the associative vocabulary suggests “businessman, businesswoman, corporate, company, office, boss, employee, finance, trade, commerce, commercial” ensuring photographers maximize the sales potential of their collection.
