           Summary: Online search for similar images
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.2.0
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: devurandom at gmx.net


Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.95) 
OS:                Linux

Usage scenario of this feature-request:
I have a photo, but I do not know what building was photographed. Maybe I have
some rough idea, or geographic boundaries.
Now I would like digiKam to send the photo to some online database with photos
from a lot of other people who have tagged them. This service would then
compare the photo to all the others and find out which look similar. It sends
me the suggestions back, together with some of the other images. Then I select
the most probable location / tags. This location (or tag) may then be send back
to the database, so future searches become more accurate, having additional
images to compare with.

I think such service already exists, maybe it was Google, Microsoft or flickr
(or someone similar) doing it.

Reproducible: Didn't try
