Company description

IQ Engines provides image recognition software that can identify the content in virtually any photo. We provide this software to developers and provide a simple way to integrate image recognition capabilities into mobile applications. Our customers include retailers, media companies and mobile app developers who are using IQ Engines to power visual search, shopping, content discovery and other apps.

Business model

IQ Engines licenses access to its any-image recognition engine (via its API) to our customers. Customers develop mobile applications that send consumer-generated images to our servers for identification. Once the image is labeled, our customer is able to help the consumer search for and find the product of their interest. Photo repositories use the API to monetize the billions of photos in their inventory through relevant advertising and search engine optimization. IQ Engines has also released oMoby, a free iPhone application available on Apple’s iTunes App Store. oMoby is a visual search application that allows the consumer to take a photo to search or shop for any object, learn languages, and more.
