Visuvi is an image based search engine with patent pending technology in “content based image recognition.” Visuvi’s search engine examines the content and patterns within an image, categorizes that information via mathematical indexing and delivers search results of images with similar characteristics. Unlike Google Images which searches by using text that is added to an image (meta-tags), Visuvi’s analysis is entirely machine generated examining the content of the image itself and does not rely on text. The company is interested in helping solve problems in industry verticals with a large image dependency – medical, ecommerce, social networks, copyright protection, others – where fast image based search can be applied to retrieve information from image content.
Visuvi will present at the Supernova Gala Event on Dec 1st - we look forward to welcome you there. Check: www.supernovahub.com #sn09 #supernovahub. Twitter @visuvi to meet with us there.
