00:01.140 --> 00:01.830
In this field.

00:01.830 --> 00:04.260
We're going to be talking about reverse image searching.

00:04.620 --> 00:11.040
Now, reverse image searching is simply we take an image and we're doing a search against that image.

00:11.250 --> 00:14.250
And there's a lot of different tools out there for this.

00:14.970 --> 00:22.020
Things like Google images, Bing images, Yandex and Pimeyes are some of the more popular ones for doing

00:22.020 --> 00:25.800
reverse image searches, and there are several other ones out there.

00:25.800 --> 00:27.830
But these are some of the bigger players for.

00:29.480 --> 00:35.900
Now essentially what we do is if we find image, it could be a safe office, it could be a person,

00:36.050 --> 00:39.680
it could be a group of people, a building, a car, whatnot.

00:39.680 --> 00:45.290
We could feed this into these different browsers or search engines and we could try to see if it comes

00:45.290 --> 00:47.450
back with a match on the Internet.

00:48.260 --> 00:53.510
Now, your your results are going to vary between these different services.

00:53.510 --> 00:58.700
For example, I tend to have better luck with, say, locations on Google.

00:59.180 --> 01:02.580
Yandex does really good with people.

01:02.660 --> 01:03.680
Same with Pimeyes.

01:03.680 --> 01:11.150
Pimeyes actually apparently uses some sort of facial recognition software for their searches and Bing.

01:12.050 --> 01:16.300
Generally, I don't find a lot of stuff on Bing that the other ones didn't find.

01:16.310 --> 01:22.070
However, I do find it useful for using multiple tools for the same search because they may come back

01:22.070 --> 01:23.420
with different results.

01:24.420 --> 01:26.520
So let's take a look at how this works.

01:27.210 --> 01:32.310
So for Google, if you go to Google.com for ID slash images, it'll take you here.

01:32.310 --> 01:40.860
Or if we just go straight to Google.com, we could do again forward slash

01:43.080 --> 01:44.110
images.

01:44.130 --> 01:46.980
It'll take us here and we can click on the camera here.

01:47.010 --> 01:48.510
We can do search by image.

01:48.540 --> 01:51.720
Now, either you can paste the URL in or you could upload an image.

01:51.720 --> 01:53.970
Let's upload an image here and let's choose a file.

01:53.970 --> 01:58.890
And let's say I want to see where else this particular image showed up.

01:59.610 --> 02:06.040
So if I fade into Google, it'll come back here and we can see this is the original image I uploaded.

02:06.060 --> 02:10.800
This gives you the image size and then we can see similar images of that.

02:10.800 --> 02:17.550
So in here we see the same window here, and you may or may not get the same results depending on what

02:17.550 --> 02:19.080
it is this is actually.

02:19.110 --> 02:20.940
Well, obviously, it's a pretty popular movie.

02:20.940 --> 02:23.290
So there's a lot of these images out there.

02:23.310 --> 02:28.770
You may get similar images to the one you're looking for, but in this case, I got an exact match.

02:29.130 --> 02:32.940
We can see the image here and we can see the different websites here.

02:32.940 --> 02:35.130
They all take me to find that image.

02:36.360 --> 02:37.740
Now, same thing with Bing.

02:37.740 --> 02:44.430
If you go to Bing for search images, it'll take you here and you can click on this little square here

02:44.430 --> 02:45.750
to upload an image.

02:46.140 --> 02:51.570
Again, you could you could take a photo pacer URL or or upload image here.

02:52.110 --> 02:58.340
So the same thing with Yandex, we can go to Yandex, come forward, slash images.

02:58.350 --> 03:03.180
Now the thing with Yandex is Yandex is a Russian company.

03:03.180 --> 03:10.350
So depending on your depending on the organization you're working for, you may or may not be able to

03:10.350 --> 03:11.310
use this.

03:11.880 --> 03:18.120
And finally, if we go to Pimeyes, we can go to Pimeyes dot com and it'll take us here and we can upload

03:18.120 --> 03:20.310
a facial image.

03:20.430 --> 03:24.090
Now this one, you generally there is a pricing for this week.

03:24.450 --> 03:26.590
We could do a simple one here.

03:26.610 --> 03:28.290
I can click on the camera here.

03:28.620 --> 03:32.460
We need to I'm going to block that.

03:32.550 --> 03:38.460
That's actually if you if you want to take a photo, you can actually click this upload of photo here

03:38.460 --> 03:42.300
and let's put our test image in here.

03:42.300 --> 03:43.740
We'll upload that.

03:45.840 --> 03:46.950
And kind of funny.

03:46.950 --> 03:48.570
This says no photos.

03:48.810 --> 03:50.100
Photos found.

03:50.880 --> 03:52.740
So let's try that one more time.

03:53.040 --> 03:54.930
Let's double check those results here.

03:56.100 --> 03:56.370
Yeah.

03:56.370 --> 03:57.070
That's interesting.

03:57.090 --> 04:02.490
Actually doesn't find anything on pimeyes even though it is a fate searching engine.

04:02.820 --> 04:04.020
So that's interesting.

04:04.020 --> 04:09.780
So again, this is why I use multiple, multiple tools for the same thing.

04:09.780 --> 04:15.960
Again, if, say, I just use Pimeyes, I came back with that result, you might think, well, it's

04:15.960 --> 04:18.270
obviously not there because Pimeyes can find it.

04:18.270 --> 04:21.120
Well, you know, obviously Google did find it.

04:21.120 --> 04:28.800
So that's why you want to use the same tools for multiple or same type of tools for multiple images

04:28.800 --> 04:32.760
and also for other things like other searches and whatnot.

04:32.760 --> 04:35.610
But again, you could use this for people.

04:35.610 --> 04:37.590
We could we can clear this out here.

04:37.590 --> 04:43.560
We could try to use this for we could also use this for places.

04:43.680 --> 04:50.970
Let's do Google dot com for slash images again.

04:50.970 --> 04:54.080
We'll take us here and let's load a non person in here.

04:54.120 --> 05:02.070
Let's upload an image, let's upload this bridge here and see what comes back and we can see this is

05:02.160 --> 05:05.220
it comes back with a bunch of hits where the same type of image.

05:06.210 --> 05:14.580
So again objects, places, people reverse imaging is fantastic and your chances are you are going to

05:14.580 --> 05:20.280
do some sort of reverse image searches as you start going through people's social media pages, photos

05:20.280 --> 05:21.210
and whatnot.

05:21.870 --> 05:22.800
Thank you for watching.

05:22.800 --> 05:23.850
I'll see you next video.
