ABSTRACT
Web image search engine has become an important tool to organize digital images on the Web. However, most commercial search engines still use a list presentation while little effort has been placed on improving their usability. How to present the image search results in a more intuitive and effective way is still an open question to be carefully studied. In this demo, we present iFind, a scalable Web image search engine, in which we integrated two kinds of search result browsing interfaces. User study results have proved that our interfaces are superior to traditional interfaces.

Effective browsing of web image search results
MIR '04: Proceedings of the 6th ACM SIGMM international workshop on Multimedia information retrievalThe rapid development of web image search engines has enabled users to search hundred million of images available on the Web. However, due to the unsatisfactory performance of current search technologies, people still need to spend much time in ...
Dual-ranking for web image retrieval
CIVR '10: Proceedings of the ACM International Conference on Image and Video RetrievalGeneral image retrieval systems exploit text and link structure to "understand" the content of the web images and lack the discriminative power to deliver visually diverse search results. The result list often contains hundreds of pages, most of which ...
Overlap Among Major Web Search Engines
ITNG '06: Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Information Technology: New GenerationsOur study examined the overlap among results retrieved by three major Web search engines for a large set of more than 10,316 queries. Previous smaller studies have discussed the lack of overlap in results returned by Web search engines for the same ...
