Perfect image search

Pictures on the Internet have to look often. It is regrettable to note, but it is not always possible to go and take a picture. Yes, this is the easiest way, but often it is unacceptable. That is why a variety of Yandex come to our aid. Pictures, Guglokartinki and Flickers.
Yandex has an excellent feature - if you find a picture, next to it, it will show a list of sites where there are the same ones, as well as their sizes. Accordingly, you can choose the maximum possible size.
I myself use Flickr.com for two reasons. The first is a huge number of high resolution images. Second, I know English quite well, so I can make sensible requests.


Image search is not perfect on all services. And now I will explain why. For example, I need to find an image on which three people are leaning against a wall. And to be precise, the photo should be taken a little on top. And how do you order me to enter a request?
"Three sit in the corner"? "People sit wall"? Or maybe “A photo of three young men sitting leaning against a wall, view at an angle of 65 degrees, sepia”? As you understand, none of these requests gave me the necessary information on any of the three resources.
The result - you need to go and shoot, then process. And I just need to make a sketch for the layout. Sketch! Another fact that the layout will be. To hold a photo session, not knowing whether it is useful, it is expensive.
So, why all this. In my opinion, the perfect image search is when there is an easel and a pencil in front of you (not on the table, in the browser). You take and sketch draw what you want to find. For example, like this:
image


you set tags, for example, "people", "wall", "sepia". Mark key elements of the picture, such as: Man, Man, Wall. The engine analyzes the entered data, including the figure, and offers the most similar images by composition. I spent exactly 3 minutes on this sketchy picture. I think it is less than the time spent on the selection of queries and browsing dozens of pages.

The perfect image search is by composition.

I think that it is possible to realize this, we implemented the same “Faces” function in iPhoto'09!
