5/16/00: Currently we are working on an integration of semantics
with the prototype implementation. The upcoming version of Sketcho will
be Version 1.2a. Semantics will be used to more accurately associate the
set of objects in the sketched query with those in the database and to
obtain a scene similarity value that reflects the actual content of a
query.
10/29/99: User’s
Guide updated to reflect Version 1.1b of the prototype.
10/2/99: The current Version (Version
1.1b) fixes some minor bugs, has a new sample database, and runs now on
all Windows platforms (Win95/98/NT).
9/1/99: After a first round of beta-testing Sketcho Version
1.1a is ready to be put on the web. Besides, of host of new functions and
features, this new version does also include a small toy database that can
be queried. You can also easily create your own sketch database. To make
the set of new functions simpler to use we have updated the User’s
Guide for Sketcho as well.
7/18/99: The new version (see preview to the right) supports
images and other documents being connected to sketches in the database. It
is now possible to query sketches even if the number of objects in the
sketch and in the database record does not match. However if objects are
missing, this is taken into consideration when evaluating a database
record. Many other features and functions have been added as well. The
prototype is currently being tested and it will be released with a small
toy database as version 1.0d in a few weeks.
6/10/99: Adding automated object association for objects within
the sketch and within the database. By now a database query is limited to
sketches in the database with the same number of objects as in the sketched
query. However, an association of corresponding objects is done
automatically
