Riya is a new kind of visual search engine. We look inside the image, not only at the text around it.
Use Riya to:
- Find similar faces and objects on many images across the web.
- Refine the results, using color, shape and texture.
Riya also has a personal search service that does face and text recognition in your photos. You can use our face and text recognition technology to:
- Train the system to recognize the main characters in the story of your life.
- Share photos with friends and family.
We believe the time has come to truly make photos searchable, to let people say I want "more like this" and get what they want, and to eventually allow every public photo in the world to be found. We are only starting on this journey. Image search on the web hasn't changed significantly in many years. We are a geeky (and proud of it) group of engineers and researchers who are slowly innovating in this area. We look forward to your feedback via email or via our blog.
