Now, what would you do if you found a picture of a very cute dog in another scene?
Suppose you don’t know anything about the puppy. You want to find information about it, or even find more photos of it.
How do you want to search for information?
This is the purpose of image retrieval.
Reverse Image Search and How does it work?
In short, similar image search is an online search, where you can upload images and find information based on queries, rather than entering text or voice based keywords.
With Google Images, you can quickly search visually similar images on the Internet and obtain information about photos, including metadata such as the object or location of the photo, and the object name.
Technically, the working principle of reverse image retrieval is to use the query technology named Content Based Image Retrieval(CBIR) Image Content Based Query(QBIC) and Content Based Visual Information Retrieval(CBVIR) to apply computer vision to the retrieval of digital images on the Internet based on mathematical models. Google’s image search is like this. To search for information, sample images are the basis for creating search queries, and users do not need to guess keywords.
Advantages of photo search engine
Using reverse image image lookup can do a lot of good work, but there are the following points:
More about image objects
Remember our cute puppy? Through reverse image search, we finally found that this puppy is Shiba Inu, the smallest of the six original and unique Spitz breeds in Japan. We also found that this cute little thing was very agile and could cope well in the mountains.
Find visually similar images
Do you think you need almost the same image, but different styles? Google reverse image search metadata enables you to visually find images that are similar or related to the sample image.
Find the source of the image
If you want to find an image source in order to give an appropriate evaluation to the image owner, but it is difficult to determine who the original author is, the image source finder is the most suitable solution for query.
Find plagiarized photos
Photo thieves may think they are smart, but Google Image Search Upload makes you smarter!

Identify people, locations and products
Are there any photos of people, places and products you don’t know? don’t worry! As long as there are identical images or information online, reverse photo search will help you identify them.
Search for other versions of a specific image
The current version of the image may not complete the operation. By mirroring an image, you can obtain more versions of a specific image that represents a size, format, or non blurring image.
Test Fake Account
You think you are too cute. Can anyone use your photos on a fake social media account? Getting people to find the reverse image helps to maintain personal reputation.
