The ISO/MPEG membership quite naturally tested the technology for its own needs, 
though I'm afraid it might not be available.

You can test it yourself partly from the software on the CD that ships with the 
Wiley book "Introduction to MPEG-7" but it is quite antiquated and won't have 
the kind of performance that is available today. It covers solely BiM and not 
further progress beyond it.

Up to now I've mostly been concerned with testing it in-house and to customers 
but I'm preparing publicly available and reproducible data. The numbers I quote 
are based on the next release of our SDK which is to ship next month. As soon as 
it comes out we will make a demo available and I will provide reproducible tests 
with everything needed to validate them. Feel free to suggest specific tests you 
would like to see there. I'd be happy to announce it here if there is interest.

In the meantime I can certainly dig up benchmarks, but you won't be able to 
reproduce them.

I don't see what my interest would be in that :)
