Application 2: Image Similar Search
◆ Clients
- Travel media service
◆ Problems
- Some hotels try to register as new ones with different names (to avoid poor reviews, or to increase appearance in search results).
◆ Solutions
- The pictures taken at the hotel (by the hotel or by its guests) give some clues.
- Even though the pictures were taken from different angles and at different time of the day, PicMatch is able to find similarity between the pictures from different registered hotel and tell if they belong to the same place.
