Google will upload your photo for processing. Drag an image from your computer onto Google Image Search page. Alternatively, you can easily upload the image by clicking the camera icon given in the search box. Go to Google Image Search and drag the photo from your desktop and drop it onto the search page. I will give this photo to Google for identification. I will use it to see if Google can guess the location of this picture.
This building is the landmark of Quebec City. I have a photograph of mine taken in front of the Château Frontenac (in Quebec, Canada). If you take a photograph inside your room and ask Google about the location –it shall not be able to guess (however, if your photo inside your room also shows a calendar displaying Eiffel Tower, Google may tell you that the photo was taken in Paris!) Please note that the algorithms can recognize only well known features on earth’s face. If the photo contains a building, monument or any other location revealing object that the algorithm can recognize and put a name on it –it will tell you where the photo was taken. You can use this feature to find out where a particular image was shot. Similar image search feature has a very interesting but lesser known use.
On the basis of outcome, it offers you with other visually similar images. Google uses object recognition algorithms to find out and identify what is there in the given image. In my previous article, I told you how you can find similar images using Google’s image search. Sometime ago I had written about how intelligent Google’s image search has become.
