What is the source of your image and video search technology?
The same as yours - the brain. IQ Engines was founded as a collaborative effort of neuroscientists from UC Berkeley and UC Davis. Our mathematical algorithms are biologically inspired, modeling the visual processing functions of the eye and brain. Our team has expertise in sparse coding and neural networks, and our unique algorithms are hierarchical and massively parallel. That means wicked fast, and scalable.

What are the applications for Mobile Visual Search?

Think of physical objects as hyperlinks. You point your cellphone camera at an object, and information appears. It is the most rapid and direct path to information on an object that is in front of you. No typing on a tiny keypad, just point and get. This technology can be used for instant online-shopping comparison, checking product availability and pricing online, and to discover information about the world around you. The search is always available, in your pocket, using your mobile phone.

IQ Engines works with companies that want to reach 2 billion cellphone users through mobile marketing. We help online retailers reach users at the moment of purchase interest.
