Image Identification with TinEye – The Reverse Image Search Engine

Posted: 04 Apr 2010 07:02 AM PDT

TinEye uses image identification technology , rather than metadata or keywords, to identify similar images on the web. Normally, we use keywords to search for the images in image search engines. The images that match with the keywords are displayed as results, and that’s all we are allowed to do. TinEye identifies the altered copies of the image on the web that might have been cropped, edited, or resized.

TinEye is the first search engine of its kind, that uses image identification technology. Currently it is in Beta stage, and allows 100 searches per day for free users. The reverse image search engine will revolutionize web technology, changing the way we search. Recently I introduced WhatTheFont – A website that allows you to find mystery font in images.

Here also, simply upload the image on the website, and it comes up with the results. Some of the uses of TinEye search engine are -

Find out where an image came from, or get more information about it.
Discover modified or edited version of the image.
Discover the webpages that made use of the image.
Compare similarities and dissimilarities between two images.

To give you a better view of the search engine, i performed a search by uploading the image i captured after i was tired of getting application errors on google chrome.

At once, the search engine came up with 27 results of images similar to the uploaded image. And, i got the answer for my problem! Here is another screenshot of results:

Have a look at the Cool Searches page on their website for interesting user searches. To know more about TinEye, read their faq section. The search engine can be used from browser, without visiting their website, using TinEye browser plugins. TinEye Website.

What do you think can be another use of this fantastic web technology? Let me know with your comments.

How to disable User Control Account (UAC) in Windows Vista

Posted: 04 Apr 2010 03:27 AM PDT

One of the most annoying features in Windows Vista and now Windows 7 is the user control account (UAC) popup window which starts every time you try to install any software or open any application or a folder.

If you want to disable UAC feature, follow the steps below

1. Go to Start > Control Panel

uac-disable-1

2. Go to User Accounts and there you will see an option "Turn User Control Account on or off".

uac-disable-2

3. Now, uncheck the box "Use UAC to help protect your computer" and click OK. And it will disable user control account on your computer.

uac-disable-3

There is another way to disable it using registry editor but if you are not good with computers I recommend you use the guide above.

1. Go to Start menu and type regedit in the search field.

2. It will open the registry editor. Now, navigate to the following folder

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

3. Find EnableLUA and give it a value of 0.

uac-disable-4

But before you make any changes in the registry, you should make a backup of your registry before making any changes to your registry.

4. Close the registry editor and reboot your computer for changes to take effect.

I remind you again to make a backup of your registry so if something goes wrong, you can restore the registry with the backup file. If you don't know anything about the registry editing, then it is highly recommended that you use the other method posted above.
