Reverse Image Lookup System

Abstract

Reverse image lookup system is a content-based image retrieval (CBIR) 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 what formulates a search query. In particular, reverse image search is characterized by a lack of search terms. This effectively removes the need for a user to guess at keywords or terms that may or may not return a correct result. Reverse image search also allows users to discover content that is related to a specific sample image. Reverse image search may be used to: Locate the source of an image, find higher resolution versions, discover webpages where the image appears, Find the content creator, and Get information about an image
