The human brain has evolved to instantly recognize images.
Visual identification is a natural ability made possible through a wonder of nerves, neurons, and synapses. We can look at a picture, and in 13 milliseconds or less, know exactly what we’re seeing.
But creating technology that can understand images as quickly and effectively as the human mind is a huge undertaking.
Visual search therefore requires machine learning tools that can quickly process images, but these tools must also be able to identify specific objects within the image, then generate visually similar results.
