The industry standard for image copyright enforcement
ImageTracker successfully identifies hundreds of image rights infringement cases for PicScout clients every day. ImageTracker employs proprietary image recognition and digital fingerprinting technology to proactively search the Internet for images that match selected entries in the PicScout Image IRC™. PicScout clients know exactly who has used their work, where it's been used, and after internal client validation, if each reported use is authorized. PicScout data shows that more than 80% of rights managed images used on commercial websites today are infringements.
ImageTracker process
- Non-intrusive, highly scalable technology identifies unique patterns within an image
- PicScout digitally fingerprints your images with proprietary technology and includes them in the ImageIRC
- Without dependence on embedded code, correct matching survives many forms or generations of alterations, even matching highly manipulated images to original sources.
- PicScout crawls the web and identifies matches, even when images have been cropped, colorized or altered significantly, including watermark removal
- PicScout documents each commercial use with a screen capture and full company details and generates regularly scheduled client reports
