The recommended way of using ParaDISE is through the Maven build system. If you wish to start using the system without modifying the source code, download the pre-configured sample project (currently for the ASL edition only) and follow the instructions in the getting started guide.

Alternatively, you can add the following items to an existing Maven POM configuration file to get access to all the features of ParaDISE :

<!-- Access to the MedGIFT Maven repository -->
<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>medgift</id>
        <name>MedGIFT Maven Repository</name>
        <url>http://faster.hevs.ch:8081/nexus/content/repositories/medgift</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>
...
<!-- ParaDISE dependencies -->
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>ch.hevs.medgift.paradise</groupId>
        <artifactId>paradise-indexer-asl</artifactId>
        <version>0.0.1</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>ch.hevs.medgift.paradise</groupId>
        <artifactId>paradise-seeker-asl</artifactId>
        <version>0.0.1</version>
    </dependency>
    ...
</dependencies>
                            

Simply select the flavor of ParaDISE you want to use in the artifactId : paradise-{component}-asl OR paradise-{component}-gpl (coming soon)

NOTE :It is sufficient to add the Indexer and Seeker components to the POM file, as these will pull in the rest of the ParaDISE building blocks. You can also specify individual components as dependencies : paradise-extractor-{license}, paradise-descriptor-{license}, paradise-storer-{license}, paradise-fusor-{license}

---

If you wish to work with the source code directly, download the package containing all the Maven projects : ParaDISE-ASL OR ParaDISE-GPL (coming soon).

Once downloaded, unzip the archive and import the projects into your preferred IDE. Finally, install the Maven artifacts of ParaDISE into your local repository using the IDE or by executing the following Maven command in the root project's directory :

mvn install

Be sure to have a look at the guide as well, as it explains some key notions of the system

Download a sample set of images here. The link leads to a collection of >2000 images that can be used for an initial test of the system (indexing & retrieval). The collection is made available by infochimps, a company active in the fields of Big Data and Cloud Computing.
