Dear list subscribers, The Quilt Index team has been working with some computer scientists who are interested in knowing what kind of research questions (for quilt studies or other studies) could be asked by developing and applying algorithms for pattern and color recognition on the data in the Quilt Index AND what kind of other research tools (i.e. different kinds of visual searches) would be useful to researchers (again, for quilt-related studies but other studies as well) For instance, one example that discussed was content image retrieval (with one image chosen, find me other quilts that look like this one). The Quilt Index team is looking for suggestions of both research questions that image recognition tools might help investigate as well as suggestions for new searching tools. Perhaps there are even some computer scientists on this list who are quiltmakers or quilt scholars....? With thanks in advance for your responses, Marsha Marsha MacDowell, Ph.D. Editor, H-Quilts Co-Director, H-Quilts
