Reverse Image Search Explained
Reverse image search is a content-based image retrieval query technique that involves providing the CBIR system with a sample image that it will then base its search upon; in terms of information retrieval, the sample image is very useful in its ways.
Search Engine Journal contributor Julia McCoy has published an article on reverse image search.
Explaining why you need reverse image search, she says, “Reverse image search is fun to do when you have a few extra minutes in your day and you feel like playing detective.
But, it’s extremely useful as well.
You can use it to:
- Find interesting facts about an image you like.
- Learn the copyright status of an image before using it.
- Track copyright violations on images you’re already using.
- Find out if other people are using your images.
- Find the original source of an image you’d like to add to the content.”
