ABSTRACT
Exploring and annotating collections of images without meta-data is a complex task which requires convenient ways of presenting datasets to a user. Visual analytics and information visualization can help users by providing interfaces, and in this paper, we present an open source application that allows users from any domain to use feature-based clustering of large image collections to perform explorative browsing and annotation. For this, we use various image feature extraction mechanisms, different unsupervised clustering algorithms and hierarchical image collection visualization. The performance of the presented open source software allows users to process and display thousands of images at the same time by utilizing heterogeneous resources such as GPUs and different optimization techniques.
