SUNNYVALE, California, April 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
eInfochips' EzVisual Search, a Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) Engine, can Recognize Images From the Background and Identify Attributes Like Color, Shape, Size, and Proportions.
eInfochips, a leading Product Engineering and Software R&D services firm, in an engagement with DirectBuy, has developed a powerful new solution to help consumers shop in more convenient ways. EzVisual Search helps end users to conveniently find products on the e-retailer website while greatly reducing the search time. It is designed to make the overall product discovery and shopping experience simpler and faster for the end users. Buyers simply have to use their smartphones to click a picture, upload it to the Ecommerce search app, and find the exact or closest possible matches available with the e-retailer.
