OBSearch

Synopsis

OBSearch is a similarity search engine.

Details

Similarity search is required in many areas. For example, music matching and binary program matching require a similarity search engine. Nowadays, it is common to hear news of projects like "photosynth" that heavily rely on similarity search. OBSearch is a similarity search engine that can help you to create an interesting and new application!

Features

  • Designed to handle efficiently heavy objects (trees, graphs).
  • Code generation for each primitive datatype (byte, short, int, long, float, double) for maximum performance.
  • The API is compact and easy to understand.
  • Stability and scalability: OBSearch's secondary storage backend is Oracle's Berkeley DB or Tokyo Cabinet. An extensive test suite makes sure that data integrity is preserved.
  • Cutting edge: We strive to put together the latest algorithms the similarity search community has to offer.
