Code for the project of the course: Multimedia Retrieval

Developed by:

• Di Grandi Daniele
• Wolters Matthijs

SET UP:

Due to the open3d library, the project should run with Python 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8. Latest / older versions would result in an installation error.

1. Download the zip file of the project

2. Open the whole folder (MR-code) in an editor (we coded in PyCharm, so the best option would be to open it in PyCharm)

3. Extract the zip file that contains the databases: benchmark.zip.

4. Insert the extracted benchmark folder containing the 3 databases (original: db, refined: db_refined, refined and normalised: db_ref_normalised) inside the project folder (MR-code). The 3 databases have to be inside the benchmark folder, which has to be inside the MR-code folder.

5. Create a new empty interpreter for the project (in PyCharm: go to preferences -> project interpreter -> create a new one)

6. Run the following command in the command line (be sure to be in the same folder of the project):

   • Unix/macOS: python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
   • Windows: py -m pip install -r requirements.txt

   If for some reasons that doesn't work, manually install one by one (with pip inslall library_name or through the interpreter settings) all these libraries:

   • annoy
   • colorcet
   • matplotlib
   • mplcursors
   • numpy
   • open3d
   • pandas
   • pyglet
   • scikit-learn
   • scipy
   • seaborn
   • setuptools
   • trimesh

7. Run main.py
