TinEye is a reverse image search engine developed and offered by Idée, Inc., a company based in Toronto, Canada. Claiming to be "the first image search engine on the web to use image identification technology rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks,〔(What is TinEye? )〕" TinEye allows users to search not using keywords but with images. Upon submitting an image, TinEye creates a "unique and compact digital signature or fingerprint" of the image and matches it with other indexed images.〔(How does TinEye work? )〕 This procedure is able to match even heavily edited versions of the submitted image, but will not usually return similar images in the results.〔(Can TinEye find similar images? )〕 == History == Idée, Inc. was founded by Leila Boujnane and Paul Bloore in 1999. Idée launched the service on May 6, 2008 and went into open beta in August that year. While computer vision and image identification research projects began as early as the 1980s, the company claims that TinEye is the first web-based image search engine to use image identification technology. The service was created with copyright owners and brand marketers as the intended user base, to look up unauthorized use and track where the brands are showing up respectively. In June 2014, TinEye claimed to have indexed more than five billion images for comparisons. However, this is a relatively small proportion of the total number of images available on the World Wide Web. As of October 2015, TinEye's search results claim to have over 13 billion images indexed for comparison. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TinEye」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
