Google and Visual Search
July 13, 2016
I know that Google does many things. I learned that the company has a discover mode. Take a picture and the GOOG shows you more like this applies applied to mobile search. You can get more information in “More on Tap: Translate, discover and improved Search by Image.”
Google, at almost the same time, bought a company with technology that improves image search. Navigate to “Google Buys Machine Learning Startup Moodstocks to Help Your Phone’s Camera Identify Objects.” The shadow of good enough search is evident on this sunny day. Google rolls out a new service and has to acquire a company with people and technology presumably to add muscle to image recognition.
I find the timing interesting. Is this an example of a service becoming available when that service requires a demiboite of French technology?
