Welcome back to Tech18, Yesterday I posted a site called TinEye, which allowed for reverse image searches, so that you could provide the image, and it would provide the location. TinEye – Reverse Image Search
Today, I have a similar website, but this time, you can search either by image, or by sketch! That’s right, you can sketch whatever you want right there on the page, and it will find images similar to it. Enjoy, and have fun!
Retrievr – search by sketch / search by image.

Retrievr is an experimental service which lets you search and explore in a selection of Flickr images by drawing a rough sketch.

Retrievr lets you find flickr images by drawing rough sketches of them. Finding images on Flickr is mostly textual (tags, keywords) or social (contacts, friends, groups). Retrievr is, like images, visual. At the same time it’s our testbed for image retrieval algorithms, so that when you add an image to a page in System One Collaboration, it gets you the potentially most similar pictures back in realtime. Or you can add it as ingredient in a custom search strategy.
