Last month, our software developer Ian Harvey spoke at the British Library Labs 'Curious Images' event in London. The event coincided with the one year anniversary of the release of the British Library's million images onto Flickr Commons and focused on how researchers and artists have used the images, in order to share ideas, techniques, methods and insights.
As part of the event Ian presented on the current progress of the Lost Visions project, with focus on the design for a "positive feedback loop" between machine vision and crowd sourcing methods of data collection. He demonstrated the Illustration Archive's crowd-sourced tagging process and offered an overview of the successes and challenges of the use of machine vision algorithms.
