Re:exhibit A: OK Cupid's famous essay
Heck you can check it yourself: sign up for a paid for dating site, put the photos into Google image search, and see how long it takes before you get a fake. But sexual desperation is such that men will still go there,
I'll do you even one better.. TINEYE plugin
... just right click and search the image on tineye.. saves a lot of hassle for many reasons.. dating only being one of them -
Re:keep honest people safe
Image recognition is straightforward enough today to quickly find almost identical matches and generate the new hash. TinEye is really good for this kind of thing, and I'm sure Google's image match also works sufficiently well to keep an updated list of all the one-offs. Pretty easy to update it just like AdBlock or an SSL cert blacklist.

Re:Those lawyers make it sound so simple
Just use tineye a reverse image search engine, just upload an image and it matches it to any that they've found while crawling the web.

So, basically the secret to uncovering this is http://www.tineye.com/

Re:How
Tineye's image similarity is a lot smarter than Google's.
Smarter how, exacly?
For every image that I tried in the past year or so, Google found more matches than Tineye.
More often than not, Tineye would find zero matches while Google presented several pages.Let's try it with an image from your site:
Google
Tineye (will expire in 72 hours)OK, just for fun, let's take an image from the Tineye web site:
Google
Tineye (will expire in 72 hours)
Outright embarrassing.Or a different one:
Google
Tineye
Ouch!Plus, Google supports filtering results by image size and/or by time.
Not to mention that, no doubt due to the integration with their traditional search, they find related keywords that allow you to dig deeper (for example, find such images on non-indexed sites).On the other hand, Google's results are arranged then Tineye's (I often have to click the "more sizes" and "visually similar" links to get to results that don't display on the main results page) and Tineye has more sorting options, but those are really minor points.
Do you know that Tineye once had a forum on its site? They took it down after it started getting filled with posts comparing it to Google Image Search and reaching the same conclusion -- that Tineye is no longer relevant.

Re:How
Well, TinEye can find pictures on the internet that match ones you upload.
-
Re:Check out Tineye
Yes, Tineye is more useful as it doesn't require the original to be "registered" with a "certificate". The problem with Tineye is that it indexes only a small portion of the web, and they won't even say clearly which sites they crawl. They don't store last-modified dates for the pictures either.
-
Check out Tineye
http://www.tineye.com/ is very cool, you give them a photo and they will search for it, or even photo's that have part of it.
I have some idea of what sorts of algorithms they must be using, but this seems to be a real advancement.
-
Re:You know what?
It also appears that they have a sister company in the UK called Central Test. The team pictures are the same as found by TinEye.
Perhaps they were trying to grow a US branch of their business with this report.

TinEye matched a painting from Google Street View
TinEye searches much more than exact images.
I just took a screenshot from Google Street View in The Museum of Modern Art. From the screenshot I cropped out a painting (and didn't even change the perspective) and searched at TinEye which resulted in this search. Colour me impressed. Once again, my image is just a screenshot from a photo taken non-orthogonally at a painting.
TinEye is also extremely useful to help understand a photoshop meme

copying http://www.tineye.com/ seems a bit seedy.

Re:Did I miss something?
Yeah, the image shows up a LOT on the web - but no mention of a movie.

Re:whatwhatwhat
771 Results Searched over 1.8627 billion images in 0.071 seconds. for file: http://www.eworldpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/afghan.jpg, http://www.tineye.com/
Seems that photographer is probably missing a lot of royalties on that photo. The photograph is copyright-able because it is the result of a creative process, another photograph can also photograph the same object and copyright his image as well.

Re:How can you be a freeloader?
A blogger that I follow, Michael Yon has quite a problem with people stealing his work, even people who should know better such as Michael Moore (yes the movie producer Michael Moore and I've seen the theft of rights with my own eyes) has stolen his work. In one thread a poster recommended a reverse search engine Tineye, to find photographic copyright violators on the web. You just upload an image or the URL of an online image and TinEye searches its web repository for copies or near copies of the image, Now an average Joe can keep tabs on who and for what his or her photograph are being used for, and if desired put a stop to there illegal use.

Re:I see TFA thinks to ask the same question I did
Can't believe so many of those annoying "under construction" signs are still be out there
Some researcher should do three things with your link
1) build a script removing duplicates.
2) make the script find the last few holdouts on the web.
3) sort by per-domain counts so we can all the 1,000 worst offenders.I realize that web 2.0 is all about being in perpetual construction because new content is added every few hours.

Re:Info Graphic?
Better than Googling it, Try TinEyeing it.

Re:Why not...
Reverse image searches like TinEye blow this idea out of the water before it's even begun.

Re:Captcha
You'd better use images that are not available online for this. Otherwise, the attacker can just throw them at Tineye, subtract a clean copy and get to work as usual. If the same image is used more than once, a similar problem occurs.

Re:Hope you have permission for that photo -- poor
Why don’t you send out cease-and-desist letters to all the other websites that are using it?

Re:Great Idea, but...
Interesting. Similar Images doesn’t let you upload any old image, which is unfortunate, but it is a worthwhile tool to add to my online toolbelt.
Tineye, on the other hand, lets you upload any picture (or give it a URL) and it attempts to find similar images using actual image recognition. It is supposed to work for cropped, rotated, composite, or re-coloured images. I find its results to be pretty impressive, sometimes. They do need to expand their image database, though.

Re:Just one word for you, son--"porn"
Please refer to http://www.tineye.com.
This Google visual search seems more targeted at recognising locations, tourist attractions, and billboards.

Re:I use it
A couple of other items of note - for C# programmers, Bing is nicer in that it allows the sharp sign in a search, as opposed to google which doesn't
Forget about Bing for C#, try Google Codesearch:
http://google.com/codesearchAbout finding the pictures, I'm now frequently searching for better image sources with the reverse image engine:
http://www.tineye.com/You just scroll down and more results are loaded.
What a crappy feature !
IE8 is already slow, increasing the size of the page just makes it slower.It's also on slashdot, on your messages page.

Re:Except for Govt of course.
The image search engine TinEye will become very handy.

It depends what you want..

tineye?
Check out Tineye - http://tineye.com/faq
It does not do exactly what above post suggests, but it partially does what submitter asked (finding similar images on the net). -
She most definitely does not love geeks
Yeah, way to go Slashdot...
Max: I feel like an asshole. This had better work.
Garry: This is just a blueprint guys, now how do you like it?

TinEye.com
TinEye.com is an image search engine that works like this:
It analyzes images it finds online, by looking at their pixels and dimensions.
To search, a user uploads an image, and TinEye returns a list of links to similar images, said images' dimensions, and links to the pages on which said images are posted.
It's useful for finding originals from photoshopped images and for finding images in a series if you have only one image and know it's part of a series.
And no, I don't work for them(but I do use the site almost daily).

Re:Small letters
I suggest that if you're not going read TFA and can't be bothered to do any further searching of the site you are slamming that you read this page:
which specifically states the opposite of what you claim might be there.
The letters aren't that small.

Tin Eye...
The TinEye image search engine should be up there - http://www.tineye.com/ - one of the most mindboggling things I've seen in a hell of a long time.
