GazoPa Image Searcher is Free for iPhone

images without typing any words. This gives users easy and unique way of
searching images on the web, says Hitachi.

similar application, a beta version of
Nokia Point & Find, focusing on movies,
is now available in the UK and US. The introduction aims to enable
people on the move to access relevant information and services on the
internet, simply by pointing their mobile phone camera at real-life
objects.
In
addition, searching by user’s drawing is also available on GazoPa for
iPhone app. The search by drawing enables users to search for items that
users have in their mind. Users only need to draw what they want to
search when they feel difficulty in expressing them in words or have no
photo related to those items. Hitachi’s image search technology allows
users to find images similar to their drawing.
GazoPa
for iPhone app also has a search option such as search by color, layout,
shape and the ability to filter by size, video thumbnail. This gives
users more chances to find their desired images.

features from an image to search for and identify similar images. GazoPa,
says the company,
can support not only photos but also the search of video thumbnails.
