Reverse Image Search

Search engine screenshot

Written by Jordan Haber, Cory Scott, and myself. This reverse image search engine takes an image URL and returns similar images, along with information about them. The UI is circle-oriented. In the center of the main circle is the image and a search box. Results are placed in concentric rings outside this circle. The main circle is itself an iPod-style wheel. Turing it will zoom through concentric rings of results. To get more information about an image, the user clicks on the image. A modal pops up with the URLs where the image is found and some text about the image. The data is stored in a MySQL database, the backend is in PHP. The webcrawler is in Python using Requests and BeautifulSoup.
