Visual Information Retrieval (VIR)

Visual Information Retrieval (VIR) is a technology that helps people find and retrieve visual content, like images or videos, using various search methods. Instead of relying solely on text descriptions or keywords, VIR analyzes the visual features of the content itself, such as colors, shapes, and patterns, to improve search results. This is particularly useful in applications like image search engines, digital archives, and social media platforms, where users might want to locate specific visuals quickly and effectively based on their appearances rather than just their associated text.
