What is a reverse image search, and how does it work?
A similar image search, in simple terms, is an online search where you upload an image instead of typing a keyword or text-based keyword to find the information you are looking for.
Google Images lets you quickly find visually similar images across the Internet and get information about the photo, such as its metadata and objects.
Reverse picture searches use a query technique called Content-Based Image retrieval (CBIR), also known as query-by-image content (QBIC), and content-based Visual Information retrieval (CBVIR), to apply computer vision to retrieve digital images from the Internet using mathematical models. Google’s image search is an example of this. The sample image forms a search query to retrieve the information. This eliminates the need for users to guess keywords.
