Clipardo.com - search by outline
We want to offer the attention of a respected start-up community, which rekub and I have been doing over the past few months during our free time from study / work.
Clipardo.com is an online service that searches for raster and vector graphic design elements: clip art, logos, icons, etc. - on a rough outline by hand. The images among which the search is carried out are posted on various Internet sites, in particular, in paid and free clip-art collections.
The user interaction with the service is simple:
1. The user on the service page draws an approximate black-and-white (monochrome) outline of the object that he needs to find with the help of a mouse, stylus or other graphic index.
2. As a result, he is given links to color images from the source sites, as well as small copies of these images for preliminary familiarization.
Here is a screenshot showing how the service works:
An example of a more complex search, a screenshot was sent to me by one friend:
As you can see, the service finds a lot of not very relevant pictures, but similar ones are also found.
In general, the service aims to create a sketch for searching as fast as possible (in a few strokes): there is no need to specify either the color gamut or the relative size and location of the object on the sheet (figure). Service, unlike many analogs like Gazopa , TinEye , Retrievr, is not designed to search for photographs, but to help create illustrations, diagrams, mind maps, presentations, posters, etc. It is possible in some approximation to consider service as a way to quickly translate the general outlines of an object into its detailed image.
We hope to receive constructive criticism and feedback. Well and at the same time to check the site on habraeffekt.
PS Perhaps someone will be useful information that now in the database of the service contains images only from free clipart storage.
