“Same Energy” A Revolutionary Visual Search Engine That Finds Similar Photos With A Click
“Same Energy” A New Revolution.
Same Energy is a new search engine, but unlike our general search engines, this is a visual search tool. This is perfect for photographers looking for visual inspiration. It’s an AI-powered visual search engine that provides a fast and simple experience for exploring visually similar photos. This is not only for photographers but for everyone.
The website was developed by Canadian developer Jacob Jackson, who launched its beta version 10 days back.
On his website Jackson writes, “We believe that image search should be visual, using only a minimum of words,”. “And we believe it should integrate a rich visual understanding, capturing the artistic style and overall mood of an image, not just the objects in it. We hope Same Energy will help you discover new styles, and perhaps use them as inspiration.”
How to use this search engine?
By Clicking on the following link Same Energy you will be directed to the search engine.
You can start by providing one or more keywords, uploading/dropping a photo, or by clicking one of the featured images on the homepage. Every time you click a photo in the grid on the screen, a new search is performed to identify visually similar photos, and the new results fill the screen within seconds.
A search for “street photography” brings up photos related to the keywords.
Here’s what you get if you search for “street photography” and then click through on one of the results. Clicking one of the results brings up visually similar photos.
In addition to clicking any photo on the screen to perform a new search based on that photo, you can also right-click to view any photo at a larger size as well as bring up more info and options (name, source page, save, search, and hide).
Jackson says his search engine uses deep learning at its core and currently indexes 19 million images shared on Reddit, Instagram, and Pinterest.
“The principal advantage of our search is that it works without any tags or metadata: all we need is the image,” Jackson says. He’s considering selling API access to the visual search as a business model for Same Energy, but for now, the project remains free to use, ad-free, and unmonetized.
