Content-Based Image-Recognition on Printed Broadside Ballads: The Bodleian Libraries’ ImageMatch Tool
Abstract:
This paper introduces the Bodleian Ballads ImageMatch tool, developed by the Visual
Geometry Group of the University of Oxford’s Department of Software Engineering on behalf
of the Bodleian Libraries. ImageMatch was designed to assist with the cataloguing and study
of the pictorial content of early British printed broadside ballads, but has potential value for
many other kinds of printed material. The paper outlines the nature of the materials to which
ImageMatch has been applied; describes how the tool works and what it can do; and will
offers some discussion on the benefits of ImageMatch’s for image-cataloguing in Rare Books
collections.
Keywords: Bodleian, ballads, broadsides, woodcuts, image-recognition
