hi, They had been researching on this line in Indian Institue of Science, Bangalore. I think image searching has fundamental limits. For successfully matching two images, there should be a subset of information in both that totally match or match with a high probability.
Expecting a front view of an image to match with a side view of the same image is impossible. They are both disjoint sets of information. If all the images are frontal images, we can match them with a hight probability, otherwise I doubt this technology has a future.
