I've looked around, this question has been asked before but i would like to know if it was possible to do so, maybe without using an API, or using another search-engine.
I would like to check the web for images, by searching with an image.
Is there any way to do so, if so can anybody point me in the right direction, i just can't seem to get started.
You can do this currently with Google. Drag and drop the image into the search field.
Just go to:
http://images.google.com
and drop your image over the search field.
Google used to have some images below the search field that you could drag and drop, as examples.

I'm trying to automatically process the results of a google similar image search. I've noticed that some results come back with "x-raw-image:///<48 bytes or so of data>" in the URL for the image. I think this is happening when the search is extracting an image from a PDF document. Does anyone know what that data is? Is it anything that is usable outside of google? I was hoping that it might be similar to a "data:image" reference, with the image data embedded, but that might not be the case.
Thank you.
ETA: Here is a random example I found that I hope works for everyone:
https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=x-raw-image%3A%2F%2F%2F79da01aca79b556defc81ee719442327379e067a26c5c5c9ec104fc39fb70177&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fpdf%2F0706.2165&tbnid=bVWbp6wB2nmBiM&vet=12ahUKEwiD06O97dXuAhWUUM0KHXp7Co0QMygCegQIARAy..i&docid=nD--BiC0InIh_M&w=1600&h=2071&q=physics%20papers%20diagram%20pdf%20x-raw-image&client=firefox-b-1-d&ved=2ahUKEwiD06O97dXuAhWUUM0KHXp7Co0QMygCegQIARAy
This is the frame you get when you click on one of the results in an image search.
Ey. I've seen the other post about Lightbox gallery effect for Flex, but after having played around with it I cant seem to get it to work 100% (The image is as small as the thumb, and I cant make it bigger). And this also lacks some functionality I'd like to have.
So, one example would be, of course, this: http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/
If you click any image on the image set you can swap between them with an arrow. This is what I'd like to have.
Also, it would be nice if it was possible to display the thumbnails for the other images in the same set under the bigger picture(when one image is already clicked).
I've tried to search for components like this, but I cant seem to find any other.
If any of you know of any nice components or snippets of code for this kind of effect then please let me know! =)
Kind regards,
Stian Berg Larsen
EDIT:
So I've searched around and tried a number of examples, but I cant seem to get any of them to work. There is always an error, and none of the examples are exactly what I want.
I simply need a way to show images like Lightbox. With a prev/next arrow and maybe a close button. Nothing more than that. How would I go about making this, or use an existing component?
Im using a TileGroup to hold all my thumbs (so that they will fill out the width of the Group with more images if there are room for it). If it's possible to generate this list of thumbnails dynamically too then that would be great, but basically what I need is to show images with a Lightbox style when I click them.
Thanks! =)
I ended up just making my own lightbox effect. :)
Created an Actionscript class (based on Group) and added image loading functionality, prev/next/close buttons and borders and such. Works like a charm :)
I am interested in how google have done it's image search using an image. I am doing a project on image comparison and searching using images, and considering how impressive google image search using image seems to be, I am curious what they have done.
I also wonder how much they do actually image comparing and how much they use like keywords around images etc.
I have an image of a living room, which I'm turning into a menu for a new site I'm working on. The idea is that you can click on certain items in the room, like a chair, desk, couch, etc and get taken to the desired page. I'm wondering if there is a clever way of doing this. Since the items are not simple shapes, I don't want to use a standard image map.
Thanks for you help!
I'm answering because a Google search brought me here...
Because you asked for a tool:
GIMP Has a really good Image map creation function.
Open your image in GIMP and select Filters > Web > ImageMap
From there you can create image maps by drawing on the image. Saving will generate HTML you can then tailor to your needs.
This tool looks to be a solid image mapper: http://www.image-maps.com/
I'd suggest doing this with a canvas and SVG's, it would make this quite a bit easier, and more professional.
As Korvin mentioned, doing this in SVG is probably the easiest option, because you can attach events to objects in SVG rather than having to manually specify a particular area in which to listen for events.
If you go this route, I recommend using the RaphaelJS library which has a nice syntax and the advantage of working in IE pre version 9. Here's a demo which, although it uses onmouseover instead of onclick, it might be close to what you're trying to achieve:

Not sure this is the sort of question I should be asking here but here goes...
I'm looking to find a flash or javascript applet that can display say 5 images and at the bottom of the images there is a tab with a number on that you can use to jump to that image.
I can't think of a way of searching for this particular thing, and I can't even find an example! The nearest I can say is that it might be on a news site with different images for different stories and you would click on the image for the story that interests you or select the numbered tab at the bottom.
Does anyone know what I'm looking for or where I can find this in action so I can use it as an example? Could be Flash or javascript i think...
Thanks!
I suppose you want something like this http://cssglobe.com/lab/easyslider1.7/02.html
This above plugin ( Easy Slider 1.7 - Numeric Navigation jQuery Slider ) supports this out of the box..
