Similarity search Sample Clauses

Similarity search. The input for the request of the Similarity Search service is the same as the one for Exact Match, with the addition of an optional parameter to specify the number of items to be received in the response (from 5 to 30, with a default of 10). The EAGLE server, using an image recognition system, will perform a similarity search on the database of all the EAGLE images and will return in response the number of items requested, ranked in order of decreasing similarity. The items returned to the FMA server do not contain all the detail data associated with an inscription image, but contain only a thumbnail of the image, a (descriptive) title and an ID. This information is sent to the mobile device and the user will be able to get the detailed information associated with an image by clicking on the result item. The list of returned items is saved by the FMA server to support the History function and the Save function, as described before. When the user selects an item to get the detail page, the FMA server sends the ID associated with that item to the EAGLE server, which will return all the information available for that image. The format of the response from the EAGLE server is the same as that provided in response to a successful Exact Match request. Also in this case, the received data will be saved by the FMA server to support the History function and the Save function, as described before.
