Search images by Colour and your Visual Memory

Where is that image in which we took at sun down ? I cant find that picture in which my kid was wearing that blue top ? Man I have so many images how do I find image of that red bird , I did not name it and I cant search now  !! I took  the picture of  a flower with closer focus but all I can find is flowers in garden ?

How many times you had heard these type of conversation ? Probably a lot and this is what I had seen many a times people talking about including my friends and family. It is human nature to remember by colours or instance more then name. We have visual memory rather than numeric like computers.  Then why cant we search by COLOUR ?

Probably no body though or we assumed that we name everything but Photology answers these questions for us. Photology is tool which allows you to search images based on properties which are more closer to Human way of remembering it rather  than name i.e.

  • What colour it had ? What tone of colour it had ? light or bright red ?
  • How it was taken ? Vertical or it was Focused ?
  • When it was taken – morning, afternoon or night ?
  • What was inside it ? Flower or face 
  • Where you took it ? Outside or inside?

Since I talked about colour here specifically , lets see an example of it :-

Searching Red colour pics

If you take a look at the image you will get a fair idea. This tool searches red colour characterstics withing all image and depending on the strength or shade of red colour you choose it makes a search. 

Honestly I am really impressed with this software and particularly this feature.  In fact you would find all the features or search criteria  of this software awesome.  Here is an image describing all of them , afterall we remember by Images more than text ;)
