Cldi is a startup that uses image recognition technology and machine learning to make visual browsing easier for users. Visual recognition technology, simply put, enables computers to recognize images and identify objects in such images.
Some users may already be familiar with this technology, which is used in uploading photos in some social networking sites. Facebook, for instance, has a facial recognition feature that identifies faces in uploaded pictures and provides users the option to tag them. Facebook’s Face.com, Google’s Pitt Pat and Apple’s iPhoto uses this feature too.
