Design and implementation of image search algorithm

Image search is becoming an urgent problem of the next generation of search engine. We firstly review the developed situation of image search engine in this paper. Then, the main difficulty and key technologies about this engine are analyzed. Next, the design method is elaborated in detail, which mainly includes image recognition, perceptual hash algorithm, system solution, image retrieval procedure as well as software module, and so on. As a result, we develop an image search engine according to above design methods and implement searching image on the Internet. The testing results finally prove the overall performance of our image search engine is excellent and achieves the desired design requirements. By using data filtering technology and perceptual hash algorithm, the search time-consumed is less than 1 second and is of high search efficiency.
