Thanks for sharing this. It seems to work.

I got 72 hits on this image, a CAD rendering I did nine years ago.

I'm not surprised. If you do a google image search for "soccerball" it will appear near the top of the list. It has been at or near the top for years.

Well, it sorta works. I also searched for some images that I have posted here and got no hits even though they have been on Pbase and other sites for years.

That's the main problem with it, even with a good pattern recognition algorithm, if the copy isn't indexed in their system then it will never surface. So it seems a nice feature/service for companies like Google who have virtually everything indexed, but not if only a part of the image copies is indexed.

And then there is the issue of how to handle a copyright infringement in, say, Tajikistan ...

Cheers,
Bart

So, Bart,

If one registers images with them, s this a useful service. wouldn't it be great to find that IBM or Coca Cola used your pictures for free!
