Dear Community Members,
We would very much like to get your feedback on the search engine we've
been working on called Behold http://www.beholdsearch.com .
Its goal is to index high quality images on Flickr released under
various Creative Commons licenses. Behold attempts to catalogue CC
images with quality comparable to that of professional image archives
such as Getty Images or Corbis, by using the social structure of Flickr
and image content analysis. A new feature is the ability to search for
images that visually resemble a particular concept, in addition to
standard tag-based search.
The ultimate aim of Behold is to offer graphic designers and artists
access to high quality images that they can freely use.
Please let us know what you think of this early technology. We would
also welcome suggestions and pointers to other sources of high quality
CC images.
Many thanks and kind regards,
Alexei Yavlinsky
BeholdSearch.com chief developer
