PROFI is a 3 year EU-funded project within the Sixth Framework Programme: Information Society and Technology (FP6-IST) running from January 2005 to December 2007.

The PROFI project aims to develop new techniques for the retrieval of figurative images (such as clip art, logos, signs) from large databases. The techniques will be based on the extraction and matching of perceptually relevant shape features, thereby overcoming many of the limitations of existing methods.
