    Viewdle.com – Facial Recognition Video Search

    viewdle

    Viewdle, currently focused on providing white label indexing and search capabilities to news and entertainment media like Reuters, also has plans to unleash a consumer search model in the near future. Instead of a typical text-based search engine, Viewdle is a facial recognition application that searches for the face of the person you are looking for by scouring video images on the web. There is currently a widget available which allows bloggers to enter the Viewdle code when they mention someone’s name and have the most recent news image appear of that person. Viewdle is a revolutionary search application that will change the way we look for videos of people.

    In their own words

    “Viewdle is a facial-recognition powered digital media platform for indexing, searching and monetizing video assets. Viewdle automatically looks inside the video, frame-by-frame, to create a real-time index of true on-screen appearances with unrivaled accuracy and relevance. With multiple patents in preparation, we are quickly building the world’s largest people-in-video reference database.”

    Why it might be a killer

    This is a cutting edge technology with limitless potential applications. Look for them to become the search engine for people-related searches.

    Some questions

    Will the consumer based model be an advertising-supported free search engine? If so, Viewdle could quickly ruffle some rather big feathers in the space.
