How it works

Flask-Image-Search uses a CNN (Convolutional neural network), the CNN is used to extract the features from the images in a dataset. The features are stored so they can be searched later with a query image. When an image is searched it’s features are extracted and compared with all the other images to get the distance from the search image, the distances are then used to sort the images.
