from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Idée Inc. is a corporation based in Toronto that develops and supplies image identification and search software. The company is considered one of the pioneers in the image surveillance industry.

Products and services

According to Idée , the search algorithms work without metadata , which means that so-called image fingerprints (fingerprints) of the image database are generated and the software uses these fingerprints to make decisions about the similarities between two images.

TinEye

TinEye is Idée's free product. It enables a web-based search for the same or similar images (including derivatives) of an image that has been uploaded or specified by URI .

PixID

PixID works in a similar way to TinEye , but is designed for professional users and is used to monitor publications on the web and in print to determine where (own) images are being used.
