Search by Image – Visual Search makes product discoverability easier by enabling users to search for similar items within companies’ product inventory by uploading an image from the web or one they took themselves.

High Visual Search Accuracy – To achieve the highest precision rate,  Imagga’s expert machine learning team helps customers customize the features relevant to their image database.

Scalability – Imagga Visual Search API features a scalable infrastructure capable of serving large amounts of requests within extensive search pools.

How Visual Similarity Search Works – The technology is based on deep learning and extraction of visual and semantic features during categorization that is used as matching criteria during the search. After extracting metadata from the image, it digs through the index of images and retrieves the best results based on semantics, color, category or functional similarity.
