Képvisszakeresés

Képvisszakeresés, also known as reverse image search, is a technology that allows users to search for images based on an existing image rather than keywords. Instead of typing in descriptive words, a user uploads an image or provides a URL to an image, and the search engine analyzes it to find visually similar images or instances of the same image elsewhere on the internet. This functionality is integrated into many popular search engines, including Google Images, Bing, and Yandex.

The process typically involves analyzing various features of the uploaded image, such as colors, shapes, textures, and patterns. Algorithms then compare these features against a vast database of indexed images to identify matches. The results can include identical copies of the image, visually similar photographs, images containing the same objects or scenes, and even sources where the image originated or has been used.

Reverse image search has a wide range of applications. It can be used to verify the authenticity of an image, discover the original source of a photograph or artwork, find higher-resolution versions of an image, or identify products depicted in a picture. It is also a valuable tool for debunking misinformation, as it can help users trace the origin of a misleading image and see how it has been used in different contexts. Researchers and journalists often employ reverse image search to conduct investigations and fact-checking.
