Pimeyes

PimEyes is an online search engine that looks for the web sites based on photos submitted by the users. PimEyes doesn’t look for people, it looks for the web sites. PimEyes doesn’t label any picture based on race, gender, age, or any other feature necessary to identify an individual. Gathering information on individuals is not the goal of the search engine, neither it is designed to do so. The engine gathers information about the URL addresses openly available on the internet. PimEyes searches for an opened internet and gathers information which is public, not restricted by user, or owner and everyone has right to see it. The database itself consists of coded indexes, where each code is indicating a certain feature. The index is linked to the web site, where photo material with similar index is published. Accordingly, PimEyes database is a puzzle and the photo provided by the user is a key to the puzzle. Database is technically structured in a manner that the puzzle solving is available only with PimEyes’ unique AI. It is technically and theoretically impossible to reconstruct a single image even in case a leak of the entire database. PimEyes database is not designed to reconstruct images inside a database. Once the photo is submitted the AI calculates index combination provided by the photo and provides the URL addresses from the database which include those combinations with bigger similarity. Accordingly, users are provided data from the database, however images are displayed from the external sources. PimEyes doesn’t keep the photos used or published by the various websites.
