imprezzeo

We use text to find text; why not use images to find images?

Imprezzeo is an image-based search technology company. Our technology allows users to search for images using other images as examples rather than textual search terms. Those images might be scenes, landmarks, objects, graphics, people or even personalities. Irrespective of the size of the collection, Imprezzeo Image Search helps you find the right image, fast.

 

By delivering a more satisfying search experience, Imprezzeo helps content providers reduce abandoned search sessions, increase usage and improve customer loyalty.

 

Imprezzeo’s enterprise beta solution was launched in October 08.

 

Imprezzeo has offices in London, Sydney and New York. Funding comes from Independent News & Media PLC
