vitrivr-engine is vitrivr's next generation retrieval engine with a flexible, modular architecture. Based on the experiences with its predecessor, Cineast, vitrivr engine's data model, ingestion pipeline and retrieval logic have been reworked from the ground. Essentially, vitrivr-engine enables the analysis (i.e. ingestion) and querying (i.e. retrieval ) of multimedia data.
- Kotlin for the JVM, e.g. OpenJDK
- OpenApi
- CottontailDB
- ... and more ...
