Someone forwarded me a photo of Muslims in burqa \/ niqab<\/a> today by email with a comment about “incongruity”. Here it is:<\/p>\n

I wasn’t immediately convinced it couldn’t have been improved for comic effect using something like gimp<\/a>. I searched for “Image Search”, thinking I could just find similar images and see if there was a slightly different original. TinEye<\/a> came up near the top of the results and was the only one with an obviously useful user interface. I saved the image from my email to my local storage and used TinEye’s image upload feature to request similar images.<\/p>\n

\"tineye\"<\/a><\/p>\n

TinEye has a handy “Most Changed” feature that – I’m guessing – shows the image that’s least like<\/em> the one you upload, but still considered a match. This link should take you to TinEye’s search results<\/a>. I don’t know how long TinEye keeps search results for, so if that stops working feel free to try down\/uploading the image yourself.<\/p>\n

The top result for “Most changed” appears to have eyes, and links to a page at travel.sulekha.com on which there’s an image gallery<\/a> with a link to the photo showing women in burqa \/ niqab with eyes visible<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There you go, a demo of TinEye in action!<\/p>\n

It wasn’t until I read this ZDNet article<\/a> that I could be sure Google also offers the same functionality. You need only click on the icon that looks like an SLR camera inside the text box, duh<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
