Digital humanities using content-based image retrieval: The Visual Studies Toolkit

In this demonstration we present two examples of ready-to-use, non-semantic, visual search filters that can be applied both for managing and analysing large image databases, in the context of digital humanities. We describe formal determinants of each filtering procedure, method, relevance and limitations of the tools. Aims: to promote non-semantic approach towards image management and analysis, to translate art historical formal analysis elements into a set of methods, that would form a visual culture studies toolbox.
