Introduction to the session :

Developed by CERES, Panoptic is a tool for viewing, exploring and annotating large image corpora. In particular, the tool incorporates algorithms for grouping images by similarity, which helps users to sort and explore them. The tool also offers various filtering, search and annotation options, enabling the creation, analysis and export of sub-corpuses.

The presentation at the medialab will cover the genesis of the tool's creation and the research work that went into it, followed by a general presentation of the tool's functions, and will conclude with a case study of one of Panoptic's user researchers.
