What is Visual Search?
Visual & similarity search technology can analyze the overall visual aesthetic of an image or detected object in an image, independent of the origin of images or metadata (such as keywords). It understands the concept of similarity according to your subjective perception. That is why it can provide the most relevant results to image queries, whether you look for the exact match or similar items.

What are the typical Visual Search applications?
Visual search typically involves searching images or products using an image query, including photos from social media and user-generated content, like smartphone photos. Our Search by Photo combines this technology with detecting individual products in images. One such solution is Search Fashion by Photo.
The technology is frequently employed for similarity searches, particularly for product recommendations in e-commerce. It assesses image or detected object features, like colour, edges, or patterns, to suggest the most similar alternatives.
Another typical use is image & product matching. Since the technology can identify duplicates or nearly identical items in various images with different quality, it can help with curating product galleries and eliminating all unnecessary content.
Even though applications in e-commerce are the most common, visual search provides endless possibilities even in the industrial sector, scientific research or security systems.

What are the main visual search benefits?
Visual search technology is powered by AI techniques such as computer vision and deep learning. The main benefits of visual search are:
Can I see how visual search tools work on my data?
The ready-to-use solutions based on visual search technology are available for testing in both public demo and Ximilar App.
It is also a standard procedure to prepare custom demos. Read our page How we work and contact us. We will prepare a custom demo tailored to your collection.
What are the visual search capabilities?
Visual search tools and software enable us to search for similar and identical photos, images, or objects, using various visual cues. Visual search algorithms analyze visual content and extract information from each image, enabling us to locate similar items or products, based on a provided image.
This technology finds application in diverse visual search use cases, including e-commerce, where users can search for products by taking a picture. Visual similarity search applications and platforms are used everywhere where visual data are essential.
Last but not least, visual search benefits include its wide use in content management systems to search for images within a database using visual references.
Where do I find visual search solutions by Ximilar?

How does Visual Search help, and in which industries is it utilized?
Visual search is reshaping industries across the board:
Do I have to have a specific image collection to use visual search software?
Visual search is always custom designed to search your images based on their visual similarity. To use the visual search, your image database needs to be synchronized to your collection in the Ximilar cloud.
During synchronization, each image is analyzed, a representation of this image is created, and then the image file is discarded. That is why your collection does not contain any actual images. It may, however, contain links (URLs) to the original images, if you provided them.
If your image database is dynamic (images are inserted and deleted over time), your collection at Ximilar cloud must be synchronized. This synchronization can be done via API, or Ximilar can set up a regular synchronization.

Can I use visual search tools and software for video, music, VR scenes or 3D models?
The visual search by Ximilar was already successfully applied to video footage, and we are looking forward to developing the technology for other types of data, such as 3D models or VR scenes! Contact us to discuss your use case.
How to use visual search for better results on my e-commerce site or stock photo database?
The purpose of visual search is to improve the searchability and discoverability of visual content, which is especially helpful in large collections with up to billions of images. It is appliable to real-life photos as well as illustrations, product photos, designs, and patterns or logos.
The process is as follows:

What is the difference between Product Similarity, Search by Photo, Photo Similarity, Fashion Search, Home Decor Search and Custom Visual Search?
Product Similarity (visual product search) was built for e-commerce. It is useful for finding similar pictures of products with image queries, similar product recommendations, and product matching.
Search by Photo (product search by image) combines product similarity with object detection to provide similar pictures specifically to the detected object, such as a piece of fashion apparel. It can be used in reverse search engine for fashion, home decor, and other e-commerce product search engines.
Photo Similarity (similar photo search) works with the same technology, but it was trained for generic images, such as stock photos or real-life images.
Fashion Search is a specialized service for fashion e-commerce, which combines visual & similarity search with object detection (Search by Photo) and Fashion Tagging.
Home Decor Search works in the same way in the field of home decor and furniture photos. It also combines visual & similarity search with object detection (Search by Photo) and Furniture & Home Decor Tagging.
Custom Visual Search refers to all solutions using visual & similarity search we build from scratch for our customers.
Our latest AI innovations for fashion & home include automated product descriptions, enhanced fashion tagging, and home decor search.
