TinEye - Upload an Image and Find It on the Web The Importance of Being Included in Google's Index Google Shows Additional Information for Forums Google Hosts Popular JavaScript Libraries The search engine is in private beta, but you can request invite or watch this screencast: TinEye searches for your image on the web by comparing its fingerprint to the fingerprint of every single other image in the TinEye search index.' TinEye instantly analyzes your query image to create a compact digital signature or 'fingerprint' for it. How does it work then? 'TinEye uses sophisticated pattern recognition algorithms to find your image on the web without the use of metadata or watermarks. TinEye also doesn't recognizes faces or objects in an image, so it just looks for similar images. It can't figure out the most-likely original source of an image, so TinEye's algorithms could be combined with a traditional image search engine like Google's in order to determine the authority of each image. how well the result image matches your query image'. TinEye doesn't do a good job at ranking images, as it orders the images 'by relevance i.e. Then I uploaded an image from my computer that shows fingers in a book scanned by Google and TinEye pointed to me to a TechCrunch article that included that image: TinEye returned 6 results: 5 of them were different versions of the featured image (including the original image hosted by Flickr) and another result showed Flickr's homepage with a different featured image. TinEye can also detect images that are part of a collage or have been blended with another image.'Īnd the FAQ doesn't lie: I uploaded a screenshot of Flickr's homepage that included a Flickr image in the top-left corner. According to the FAQ, 'TinEye frequently returns image results with colour adjustments, added or removed text, crops, and slight rotations.

The new image search engine, powered by Idée's technology and currently in private beta, has an index of 487 million images (Google's index is at least 12 times bigger) and manages to find identical versions of an image or alterations. TinEye tries to do that and the best part is that it mostly succeeds. This is useful if you have an image, but you don't remember what it depicts or if you want to find a higher-quality version of an image. I've always thought that an image search engine should accept as an input images and list identical or similar images from the web.
