OpenDiamond 2.0:
New background/anticipatory search system, optionally invoked with the "-b" option to adiskd.

A preliminary Kerberos-based authentication mechanism, optionally invoked with the "-a" option to adiskd. When authentication is enabled, adiskd will refuse connections to clients that cannot get a "diamond" service ticket for the machine that adiskd is running on. A future version of the OpenDiamond Platform will support SASL-based authentication.

Filter omission support: filters can mark attributes as "omitted". Omitted attributes are never transferred across a network link, but are still available between filters executing on a single machine. With this support, attributes representing intermediate stages of computation do not need to waste network bandwidth.

Diamond Core Filters 2.0.6

Diamond Core Filters provides a collection of filters that can be used by Diamond applications. These filters provide image decoding; thumbnail generation; color, texture, and face detection; text search via W-Shingling; and comparisons of numeric and text attributes produced by other filters.

To build Diamond Core Filters you must compile and install OpenCV with the static library option.

HyperFind 1.8.0

HyperFind enables users to quickly search through collections of unlabeled photographs (such as holiday photos). The current implementation of HyperFind supports user-defined color and visual texture filters that scan regions in every image. The user can create and refine these filters using image patches. HyperFind also supports popular shape-based filters such as face detectors.

FatFind 2.0.5

FatFind Runner 1.1.3

 The task of manually counting adipocytes (fat cells) in cell microscopy images and characterizing their size is very time consuming. FatFind exploits the almost perfectly circular shape of adipocytes in solution to efficiently locate fat cells.

MATLABFind 3.0.0

 MATLABFind lets you use MATLAB code as a Diamond search predicate. You need MATLAB running at each backend server (where diamondd runs).

ImageJFind 3.0.1


 ImageJFind lets you use ImageJ macros as Diamond search predicates. ImageJ is public domain software maintained by the NIH.

GigaPan Plugin 1.0.3


 GigaPan Plugin is a HyperFind plugin that provides additional features for searching GigaPan images. Users can discover where individual search results appear within the context of an entire GigaPan, or can drill down from a high-level view of a GigaPan to see individual search results.

StrangeFind 0.8.22


 StrangeFind is a program that lets you perform anomaly detection on various types of data. This preview release works, but may have incomplete or missing functionality.

PathFind 2.2.1


 PathFind is a program that lets pathologists search through virtual slides. This preview release works, but may have incomplete or missing functionality.
