ImageIRC™
PicScout ImageIRC™ is the world's largest index of image fingerprints and metadata from known copyright owners. It is a unique platform that:
- Assures credit for every image, which makes images on the Web usable, saleable, and trackable
- Provides authentication for images, which offers protection to entities and facilitates broad use of UGC
- Enables digital devise advertising and traffic generation to leverage image usage in campaigns and programs, which offers new revenue streams
IRC stands for three enabling components of the ImageIRC platform:
1) Index—image recognition achieved through proprietary PicScout digital fingerprinting technology;
2) Registry—information retained and maintained as metadata associated with every image;
3) Connection—users and buyers connect with image owners and licensors through an API.
