Search for photos using hand drawn sketches!

This is a public research demo of new software developed at the University of Surrey that for the first let's you find photos using free-hand sketches scribbled on your phone.

The demo is restricted to our database of 3 million photographs for this demo.

Examples include monuments (e.g. Arc de Triumph, Eiffel Tower, Big Ben), landmarks (e.g. London Eye, British Red Telephone Box), hot air balloons, butterfly, moon etc.

This is not a production ready app - but an early glimpse at Computer Vision research being conducted at the Centre for Vision Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP), University of Surrey.
