Search by Visual Similarity

You know that the image is in there somewhere, but you just cannot find it.  The tags, the metadata you have searched with have not yielded what you were looking for.  And it is totally impossible to browse through all of the pages manually.

Searching visually is the answer - whether for browsing a commercial on-line photobank or looking through your own enterprise's stock of photos.

Color similarity search and visual similarity search help editors, creative artists, and image buyers make the most of the visual assets which are available. 

Sometimes it is a case of looking for visual ideas, and a display of images in the database - grouped together by color or visual content - can speed and inspire the creative process.

These tools can also be used for:

• Finding the high resolution source image to match a low resolution copy
• Removing unncessary duplicates from the stock of visual assets
