The goal of IARP is to analyzing a large corpus of imagery from the Library of Congress. This will entail using extant algorithms and creating new ones to identify features contained in the images and automatically tagging collections of such images according to semantically meaningful categories. Additionally, XSEDE ECSS will aid in integrating the image analyses with the extant metadata that is currently associated with the collection. ECSS will assist with the logistics of the software stack and integration of tools such as DIBBs Brown Dog / NCSA Clowder on the XSEDE HPC system (SDSC Comet).
