Spot the Difference!

This project will pilot the use of visual search tools and test their application to learning and teaching in the arts through the identification of visual plagiarism.
Whilst there are established tools for the detection of text based plagiarism, there has been very little research undertaken and no equivalent tools to assist with the identification of visual plagiarism. The Spot the Difference! project seeks to address this gap, and to explore the potential application, relevance, and impact that visual search technology may have to offer in this highly complex area.

From project plan: 'ColorSIFT and SURF are forms of image descriptor. Image descriptors are the product of image processing routines that transform visual content in the image into a digital fingerprint that summarises the visual contents. It is this fingerprint (descriptor) that is compared when assessing the similarity between two images using a visual search algorithm. ColorSIFT and SURF are generally regarded to be among the leading image desciptor technologies for general purpose visual search.'
