Research project

CBIR research platform

A content-based image retrieval workflow built around modern vision models, developed as applied computer-vision research.

  • Python
  • Computer vision
  • Self-supervised learning

Context

Part of research into content-based image retrieval (CBIR) and self-supervised vision representations — using a model's learned image representations to find visually or semantically similar images rather than relying on manual tags.

Problem

Keyword and tag-based image search misses results that are visually or conceptually similar but not labeled the same way.

Approach

Applied self-supervised and modern vision models to generate image representations, then built a retrieval workflow around them to test retrieval quality.

Main capabilities

  • Image-similarity search based on learned visual representations
  • Experimentation pipeline for evaluating different vision models

Outcome / current status

Research project; not packaged as a client-facing product.
