Google claims to have created a software technology that will allow them to set up Pagerank kind of technology even to image searches. At International World Wide Conference in Beijin, two of the Google scientist said this new technology will be called as Visual Rank. Visual Rank algorithm is been created for ranking and weighting images that are similar in look.

Currently, search engines heavily rely on text associated with images to rank images high in results. In spite of years of an effort, image analysis is a problem which is still unresolved. While progress has been made in automatic face identification in an image, but it still remains unsolved mystery.

Google claim it to be the “most comprehensive image search on the Web.” Google said that in its research, they’ve focused on 2000 most popular product search on Google’s product search, and they got 83% relevant results. They claim it to be “The” solution available for a comprehensive image searching.

However, experts still believe that it’s impossible to achieve anything like this.
