Scalability is another key value proposition of the CogniSign technology

CogniSign’s core visual search algorithm is so simple and also so powerful that it may be the most highly parallel visual search algorithm out there. What do we mean by this statement? Let’s talk about the end result - it means that our technology can visually search across disparate databases, servers and devices, using the distributed resources of each. This means that visual search can happen to image and video data stored anywhere, without having to move that data from where it resides. Our technology achieves its scalability through these inherent distributable qualities. In a nutshell, our technology can perform visual search across servers, across different datacenters, and even across completely different types of computers and devices.
