Abstract

A real-time reverse image searching for images analogous to a frame having patterns, performed using a processor connected to a network and having access to digital libraries warehousing a plurality of vectors and respective images/videos associated with each of the plurality of vectors, including: calculating representations for each of the patterns in the frame to form a vector, the representations corresponding to dimensions of the vector; reducing a size of the vector by reducing a number of the dimensions to one of about 8% and a maximum trade-off between the quality of the image and the size of vector; detecting, in the digital libraries, of the plurality of vectors that are most similar to the vector of the frame; and offering, in real-time via the network, images/videos associated with the selected of the plurality of vectors, wherein a number of the offered images and videos is pre-determined.
