Standard Edition

The Standard Edition of piXserve is well suited for organizations/workgroups that have larger repositories of images in their intranet, as well as some video files.

 
piXserve Standard Edition includes all the features found in the Web Edition, and adds several that are important in environments with a broader set of digital media search requirements.

The Standard Edition of piXserve adds the ability to recognize and index
text that may appear anywhere in the field of view of the image. Users can type a text string and retrieve images/video sequences where such text appears in the image (for example, text on the screen of a news broadcast, or text on a street sign). piXserve can see and recognize text in complex color images and videos with an unmatched level of accuracy in the industry.  The Standard Edition is capable of indexing text in languages that use Western Alphabet characters.  It is also well suited in applications that involve alpha-numeric strings (such as license plates, part numbers, etc.).

piXserve Standard Edition includes connectors that allow the software to store piXserve XML metadata in external RDBMS products such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL.

In addition to the image formats handled by the Web Edition of piXserve, the Standard Edition adds the ability to index popular video file formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H-263, H-264, WMV, ASF, etc.). 

Key features:

  • Automatic Indexing
    Point piXserve to a repository of images and video and automatically index their contents. No manual intervention or data entry required.
  • Powerful Search
    Through a web browser interface, users login to piXserve, connect to available databases and formulate search queries to retrieve images and specific segments of video files:
    1. Use an arbitrary image from user’s dektop to search for images/video segments that contain the same or similar items
    2. Use the mouse to point to an area of the query image to indicate which specific item(s) should be searched for.
    3. Browse the contents of existing databases, and use any of those images to formulate a visual search query.
    4. Type a text string to search pictures/videos where that string appears in the field of view
    5. Perform not only simple but also complex searches (Example: type a text string to retrieve broadcast news segments where that word is visible on the screen, and then use a picture to search those results and retrieve segments where both the text string and the desired visual object(s) are in the same frame.
    6. Search by file name (any text substring that appears in the full path of the image/video file).
    7. Search by keyword or other external metadata, if available.
    8. Suggest keywords to describe the contents of a picture
  • Comprehensive Search Environment
    Users can prune and save search results for future reference. Search results can be annotated and, as they are stored in XML format, can be easily imported in typical office productivity applications.
