# About
isk-daemon is an open source database server capable of adding [content-based (visual) image searching](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content-based_image_retrieval) to any image related website or software.
This technology allows users of any image-related website or software to sketch on a widget which image they want to find and have the website reply to them the most similar images or simply request for more similar photos at each image detail page.
A desktop version of this technology is available as the open-source [imgSeek project](http://sourceforge.net/projects/imgseek/).
# Key features
* Query for images similar to one already indexed by the database, returning a similarity degree for the images on database that most resemble the target query image;
* Query for images similar to one described by its signature. A client-side widget may generate such signature from what a user sketched and submit it to the daemon;
* Network interface for easy integration with other web or desktop applications: XML-RPC, SOAP;
* Fast indexing of images one-by-one or in batch;
* Associate keywords to images and perform image-similarity queries filtering by keywords;
* Quickly remove images from database one-by-one or in batch;
* Built-in web-based admin interface with statistics and ad-hoc maintenance commands/API testing;
* Optimized image processing code (implemented in C++).
# Install instructions
Here is a quick guide to build from a cloned git repo. You may want to ``sudo`` all these commands if you have permission errors.
I assume you know how to build from source and have all build tools (most are installed on the next steps) and libraries installed for your system.
##Ubuntu Quick Start
This one is tested with Ubuntu 14.12
1. Install prerequisited if they're not on your system already:
``apt-get install swig ImageMagick libmagick++-dev python-dev``
2. cd to ./src and run: ``python setup.py install``
##MacOS Quick Start
1. Go to http://brew.sh and install ``Homebrew``
2. Install swig: ``brew install swig``
3. Install ImageMagick: ``brew install ImageMagick``
4. Install pkg-config: ``brew install pkg-config``
5. Cd to ./iskdaemon/src/ and run ``python setup.py install``
Alternatively, you can try it with ``macports``.
