Starting this week, Google has added one more feature that will make it easy for users to find quick facts about what they see on Google Images.
Going forward, when they will search for an image on a mobile computing device in the US, they might see information from the Knowledge Graph related to the result. That information would include people, places or things related to the image from the Knowledge Graph’s database of billions of facts.
For example, let’s say you’re searching for beautiful state parks to visit nearby. You want to swim during your visit, so you tap on a picture of a park with a river. Beneath the photo you might see related topics, such as the name of the river, or which city the park is in. If you tap a specific topic, it will expand & show you a short description of the person, place or thing it references, along with a link to learn more & other related topics for you to explore. With this information, you can better understand the image you’re viewing & whether the Web page is relevant to your search.
To generate these links to relevant Knowledge Graph entities, Google takes what it understands about the image through deep learning, which evaluates an image’s visual & text signals, & combines it with Google’s understanding of the text on the image’s Web page. This information helps the search engine to determine the most likely people, places or things relevant to a specific image. It then matches it with existing topics in the Knowledge Graph to surface them in Google Images.
