Image-based Similarity Search
With the image similarity search, you can explore an inventory of several million automatically recognised images. The images include both individual illustrations (photos, graphics, paintings) and illustrations in books or manuscripts. The search criterion applied relates to the similarity of image motifs according to purely outward characteristics such as colours, textures or contrasts.
You can search for people, animals, plants, landscapes, coats of arms, book covers, miniatures or initials. Give it a go and search for "digital twins".
