Facebook Search Now Recognizes Objects in Photos - Search Engine Journal

Facebook's artificial intelligence (AI) team has built a visual search system that can recognize content that appears in photos and return relevant search results. Called Lumos, Facebook originally created the platform so that its visually impaired users could understand the content of photos. But Facebook recognized that everyone could benefit from this type of visual search system. Facebook's image search system can detect and segment objects, scenes, animals, places, and clothes that appear in images or videos – and understand them. For instance, let's say you search for "black shirt photo."
