"Similar" Image Search with GazoPa

Our first post about GazoPa (Beta) was an overview that we placed on ResourceShelf a few weeks ago.

The company (their part of Hitachi) claims that their image database contains more than 60 million images and GazoPa has their own crawler.

What makes GazoPa different is that the primary way of searching for similar images is by uploading an image or drawing a picture. Then, that picture/drawing is used to find similar images. Again, our overview post has much more.

A GazoPa blog post from Thursday listed three other ways to begin your GazoPa search:

1) Plugin

You can search for images by using images on other websites. Right click on images and click 'Search image on GazoPa'. Download the plugin here.

2) See Flickr and News Images

You can see latest flickr images that have creative commons or Flickr commons. Click 'Flickr' on the header of page. Set search option as 'today'. Images that are uploaded to flickr within 24hours are displayed. You can see latest news images as well when you click 'News' and set a time filter. But a time filter may not work well and very few images might be shown. Try it later.

3) See Nice search results

Click 'more' on the top page of pickup photos. Lots of nice search results are listed. Click any of links and you can see nice search results
