Hitachi Develops New Visual Search

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the which-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-other dept.

Tech.Luver writes to tell us that Hitachi has developed a new visual search engine that can supposedly find similar images from within millions of video and picture data entries in around 1 second. "The technology assesses the similarity of images based on image characteristics presented as high-dimensional numeric information. The information is acquired by automatically detecting information regarding the images, such as color distribution and shapes."

    Yah I was just joking around.

    Really though, suppose you don't have any images of two chicks riding a wookiee in a gladiator outfit. And say you know there's one out there. Well, I'll tell you, Alex Ross has a much better chance of finding that image with his mad drawing skillz. Of course, once he completes his "query," he's made himself the image he was looking for. So I guess it's kind of pointless. I forget where I was going with this anyway.
