Google Launches Image Ads
The search engine giant Google researchers have presented a technique for improving image search results to attendees of the International World Wide Web Conference in Beijing. Google calls the plan VisualRank, after the company’s signature PageRank technology appeared. VisualRank, The New York Times reports, is an algorithm, which blends image-recognition software techniques with Google’s own process for weighting and ranking images that become visible similar.
Google, debatably, has the world’s main networked computer and thereby a capability to crunch a lot more data than most. Now, a piece of that horsepower is going to be applied to a more sophisticated image search algorithm.
