We would like to thank the following individuals for their continuing support of this work:

Objectives

To provide two services:

  1. Software which allows users to augment the features of existing image databases to improve machine learning effectiveness and increase statistics.
  2. Links to download image databases with augmented features.

Sample Results and Metrics

Below are some sample results from the related research work demonstrating the effectiveness of augmenting database images with more features. More information can be found in papers [6, 8, 9] listed in the reference section below. In particular, the following table contains results from our paper [6].
