The extension includes two parts, technical improvement and UI design. 
The technical improvement may include 
- new retrieval algorithms (e.g., 80+% of precision and 55+% of recall), 
- high dimensional data indexing (efficiently storing and managing the features extracted from the database, modifying the program so that it does not need to compute the features every time), 
- retrieval algorithms for particular types of images (e.g., sunset images, images containing human faces), 
- a crawler to obtain images from the internet, or 
- adding semantic information to help improve the retrieval performance. 


1. Improve the number of correctly matched images (20%)
1. Modify the above program to retrieve similar images (20%)
1. Improve on the Precision (20%)
1. Improve on the Recall (20%)

Here, 
15% of marks will be given based on the technical difficulties and 
another 10% will be given based on the UI design.
