Introducing automatic object detection to visual search

When we launched visual search last year, we gave a first look at what's possible when you use images as search queries. Now, more than 130 million visual searches are done every month, as people search for the objects, styles and colors they see in Pins and get related recommendations. Today, we're introducing automatic object detection for the most popular categories on Pinterest, so people can visually search for products within a Pin's image. As we look to the future of visual search, we're also starting to preview new camera search technology that'll give Pinners recommendations for the products they find in the real world. Pinners will soon be able to snap a photo of a single object like sneakers - and get recommendations on Pinterest, or even take a photo of an entire room and get results for multiple items.
