…And that’s exactly what Multicolr does for you.
The web application searches through Flickr for photos based on a colour palette you choose. In the screenshot above, I chose blue… and got everything related to it.
Great fun for folks who choose things by warm, cool or neutral colours. :D
A more useful application would be their Visual Search Lab where you search for pictures by picking images and entering tags.
Like so…
The guys at Idee aren’t just resting on these image searching techniques.
The feather in their cap would be TinEye (in Beta stage) which takes an uploaded image, compares it to images on the web and tells you where it’s from and been to. Think of it as a visual Google.
Edwin: Thanks for playing with our labs and trying out TinEye. We are working on some new search apps for 2009 that we are very excited about (of course!). Did you see our mobile search application? It is an iphone App called TinEye Mobile that allows you to take a photograph of a CD cover and using image recognition, TinEye Music finds the album on itunes and allows you to sample the tracks + much more.
Thanks for finding us. Best wishes for 2009 and happy new year!
Cheers, Leila
Oh yah... I saw it on the website but I don't have no iPhone... :( Still the concept is amazing... I wonder though, is it possible to take a photo of say.. Kayne West and get a list of tracks associated with him?
Kind of like what Shopsavvy does with the barcode...
