Snoop

Keywords: Content-based Image Retrieval - Deep learning

Functional Description: Snoop is a C++ framework dedicated to large-scale content-based image retrieval. Its main features are (i) the extraction and efficient indexing of visual features (hand-crafted or learned through deep learning), (ii) the search of similar images through approximate k-nearest neighbors and (iii), the supervised recognition of trained visual concepts. The framework can be used either as a set of C++ libraries or as a set of web services through a RESTFUL API. Snoop is the visual search engine used by the Pl@ntNet applications (very large audience).
