What is Reverse Image Search?
A technique where you use an image as a search query instead of text. Traditional reverse image search engines (Google Images, TinEye, Bing Visual) match pixel patterns to find identical or near-identical copies of an image. However, they struggle with face matching across different photos because they look for the same file, not the same person.
