How One Visual Search Startup Plans to One-Up TinEye

When you have a photo and want to find a higher resolution copy online, you can use tools like Google Image Search and TinEye. They work in a very specific way extracting specific patterns and how they contrast with their surroundings. That works well for finding alternate copies of the same image, but it's not so great if you try to go deeper. Enter Clarifai, which creator Matthew Zeiler claims improves upon the techniques used by Google and Tineye by way of superior artificial intelligence. "We understand images and video automatically with a whole variety of different'models' as we call them," Zeiler explained to Motherboard.
