Airliners.net Photo Similarity Search

    This section displays photos similar to your query image. It does not show photos of a particular airline or aircraft (use our normal keyword based search engine for that) but instead compares colors, contrast and shapes in the images themselves. This is cutting edge science and work in progress. Getting a computer to perceive similarity between images the same way as you and I is extremely difficult and the base of much scientific research. Airliners.net in cooperation with Profs. James Z. Wang and Jia Li at PSU bring you one of the best similarity search engines in the world applied to the Airliners.net photo database. Enjoy!
