Google reveals 'Goggle'

Google has unveiled its new search option, "Goggles," which allows users to perform an Internet search by submitting a photograph instead of keywords.

The search giant Google's regular search engine lets users search by typing text onto a Web page.

The search giant launched Google Goggles as its search-by-sight feature to let users use a picture instead of keywords as the search query.

Users can take a picture of a given object and send it to Google Goggle to obtain more details about the object.

"It is our goal to be able to identify any image," said Google's vice-president of engineering, Vic Gundotra.

“It represents our earliest efforts in the field of computer vision. You can take a picture of an item, use that picture of whatever you take as the query."

The tool compares the searched key-image with Google's database of billions of images. Goggle informs its analysis of the uploaded image to return relevant information.

It can recognize books, album covers, artwork, landmarks, places, logos, and more.
