CogniSign Blog

News, updates and commentary on CogniSign products and the world of image recognition technology.

Thursday, July 06, 2006

Welcome to the CogniSign Blog!

Visual search technology has finally come of age, and we’re here to talk about it.

CogniSign was formed to help computers search through images such as photos and videos as accurately as humans can -- only through millions at a time instead of just a few. Humans can browse through images and intuitively recognize similarities based on shapes, colors, image composition, object proximity, or a combination of these factors. By applying CogniSign’s award-winning “Intelligent Image Recognition Technology” to the task of visual search, now computers can too.

CogniSign was founded by us --
Dr. Lenny Kontsevich, a research scientist studying cognitive psychology, human and computer vision, and artificial intelligence, and Bryan Calkins, a software industry veteran. In this blog, you will hear from the two of us as well as several other key players from the CogniSign team.

We’ll be covering news and updates on CogniSign products -- like our innovative xcavator consumer platform, which has recently been integrated with Yahoo!’s flickr -- as well as insights into what makes our technology so special and commentaries on where we see the industry heading. You might also want to check out our more consumer-focused blog, xcavations.

Although CogniSign has been around for three years, our technology and the market for it are just now maturing. This blog exists to share our views on the evolving industry and to elicit your feedback on how we can help make it better. Your input is more than welcome -- it is necessary. We urge you to test xcavator for yourself and let us know what you think.

Don’t be surprised if you see your personal recommendations incorporated into the next version of our products.
