5.) Better detection of modified / altered images On the other hand, the results of Google images comprised of a variety of portrait photos of the same person. If you take careful notice at both the results, you will find that Yandex results are strict with the same angle, posture, lighting, background and even looks. I tried this experiment with a portrait photo of the Hon’ble Russian President – Mr. Here is a relevant screenshot: 4.) Superior recognition of face in picturesīoth Yandex and Google are fairly capable of reverse searching a face photo, but in my opinion and experiments, Yandex appeared to have better face recognition abilities than Google. This might be especially helpful in case you have an image file in poor resolution and would want an exact copy of the same image in a better resolution. Now tell me, which one is more accurate and intelligent? Yandex or Google? 3.) Visually similar images of all sizes and dimensionsĪnother striking feature of Yandex reverse image search is the availability of image results in a variety of sizes and dimensions. On the other hand, I tried uploading the same image on Google and this is what it returned: Yandex easily deciphered the image search query into the most accurate words and phrases.

Here is an example of what I mean when I say “intelligent reverse image search results.” The team of researchers and engineers at Yandex, in the year 2017 developed CatBoost, an open-source AI-powered and machine learning algorithm that has drastically improved the accuracy of its search results. While there is no denying that Google is a leader in Artificial Intelligence technologies, it’s important to note that other search engines are also slowly catching up quite well. The results under “Similar Images” were far more accurate as compared to that of Google. Yandex clearly understood the pattern, shape and color scheme of the uploaded image. To test the accuracy of image recognition of both these search engines, I decided to use my blog logo as a reverse image search query. Here is an example of how it stacked up against Google: Its system deeply matches pixel-to-pixel, color-to-color, and shape-to-shape to deliver shockingly accurate reverse image search results. In my experiment, Yandex has delivered far more visually accurate and similar results as compared to Google. Now let’s review the top five reasons that qualify Yandex as a potentially good reverse image search engine: 1.) Better image recognition technology Once you’ve uploaded your picture, Yandex will return results with exact-match or visually similar images, including the list of webpages where these images have been used. Follow the steps as shown below to start using Yandex for reverse image search queries:Ģ.) Because Yandex Images is a Russian search engine, you have to first right click and translate the web-page to English.ģ.) Click on the small camera icon on the right-hand side of the search bar.Ĥ.) Either upload an image from your computer/mobile OR directly enter the image URL. So, the very first thing that I would want you to do is to right-click on its webpage and click on ‘ Translate to English‘. For native English speakers, this might be a problem. Not a surprise, all of its interface is in the Russian language.
