Yandex and Google allow you to search by faces, as well as find similar images.
Why is this needed?
For example this will help find other photos of the person from the existing photo.
I think the simplest thing is to find copies of the image in various formats, with additional elements, etc.
Let's take a photo of the famous actress Monica Bellucci and use it to test Yandex and Google.
Search engines have special operators that allow you to search by faces.
Now we take a photo of a person from social networks, the result is: 
Obviously, there are no other photos of this particular lady here, but there are enough relatively similar ones.
More nuances of Yandex search by pictures are in the following video:
conclusions
| NEW: based on photos and other information. |
It is not difficult for search engines to cope with finding copies of images. However, when it comes to searching for other photos of this person by the face, so far such a search is more relevant for people who have a lot of photos on the network that are open for indexing.
Explore the article- here you can also find information about services - photo storages, which can also be used to find similar faces or specific people.
It used to seem impossible to find your double by photography on the Internet, but today there are many resources that allow you to search for free and anyone can do it.
How to find a double
There are a number of services that search for people similar to each other using given parameters or an uploaded image.
PicTriev
The resource allows you to scan a large number of photographs of different people and build them by similarity, selecting users by parameters: gender, age, region of residence. In order to use the service, you do not need to register, the PicTriev interface is very easy to use, you can contact technical support... After the client of the service uploads a photo to search for a person by photo - a picture remains in memory site and is used for subsequent comparisons.
Сelebslike me
The resource, developed by Microsoft, is intended for comparison by photography with celebrities and Hollywood stars. Here the comparison is also done by three parameters, as in the previous version: gender, age, region of residence. The first results that Celebslike me will deliver to a client are celebrities who have been nominated for an Oscar or ever won an award. The program works with errors, therefore it is recommended to search several times, for more accurate definitions of similarity. 
Ilooklikeyou
A service that allows users from all over the world to find their double by photo for free, both among media personalities, actors, celebrities and among ordinary people. Ilooklikeyou requires pre-registration for further use, and also offers to log in through the social Facebook network... The algorithm for finding similarities with other people is simple: service asks to download original image, adjust parameters - date of birth, gender, region of residence and automatically starts scanning. Photos can be added from the Facebook social network or downloaded directly from a computer disk. 
FindFace
The application is a Russian development and allows you to search by photos of users' pages from the social network "Vkontakte", in addition, there is an option to search for doubles. Here the developer offers to use not only the site, but also download smartphone app operating room Android systems... The FindFace interface is easy to operate, if necessary, you can contact the technical support service.
Twin strangers
The project allows you to find people on the Internet who are similar to the user who uploaded a photo to a search engine. The system finds almost identical photos. Twin Strangers operates worldwide and selects people for set parameters, if the client chooses the item "general search" - the parameters can not be configured, then the algorithm will return all similar images that are in the database. The interface is a bit tricky to navigate for Twin Strangers visitors who decide to use the service for the first time. 
How to look for doubles
The algorithm for determining a person similar to himself from a photo is identical in almost all programs. It consists in uploading the user's photo to the resource and setting the necessary parameters focused on age, gender and region of residence. In some cases, you need to register on the portal to continue working with the tool.
A detailed algorithm for using search engines is presented on the example of interaction with Сelebslike me:
We use search engines
You can also find a similar image or person using the usual search engine any browser. Below is an example of how to compare and analyze an image through the Google search engine:
Social media communities
IN social networks, such as "Vkontakte", "Odnoklassniki" and "Facebook", there are often groups and communities where users can independently find outwardly similar doubles. Publics are built on the principle in which the people registered on the network themselves add personal photos or photographs of acquaintances whose double is required to be found and announce their desire to find a similar person. Here you can offer news or upload the image yourself on the "wall" or in a special album.
If any person found a similar user or determined the similarity to their own appearance, you should write to the community administrator or leave a comment under the post, you can also post personal image, confirming the fact of coincidence.
Look-alike contests
Similar events take place all over the world and allow many people to find a person with similar facial features. Situations are not uncommon here when the participants in the competition are difficult to distinguish from each other, because there are almost twins.
There are also contests that have one thematic focus, for example, competitions of doubles of a certain celebrity, then all more or less similar people are selected for the so-called "competition of similarity" and the jury selected for the event chooses the winner.
A question from a double seeker ...
Hello.
Tell me, is it possible to find your double on the Internet? I tried to register on several sites, everywhere they only take money (for example, via SMS), and the result is zero. I have several photos: side, front, large and small.
I would like a free option, and not too complicated, for beginners ...
Good day!
It is possible to search, but to find it is not always possible ...
Before starting the search, I want to warn you right away:
- firstly, do not send any SMS to short numbers(for the most part, they will not find a double for you, and they will write off the money from the phone ... At least first read reviews on independent resources before paying for the service);
- you need a face photo (for which you want to find a double). The photo must be in JPG format (this format is accepted by all services). The photo should clearly show the face, so that the person from it is looking directly at you. A photo of a normal size is desirable (the main thing is not too small)
And so, now let's move on to the search ...
All the coincidences of the persons presented in the article are accidental! I do not want to discredit, glorify, or harm anyone in any way ...
Method 1: Using the Find Clone Service
A very young service for finding people similar to you in social. Vkontakte network. The service database contains millions of profiles and photos, which were indexed by their neural network.
The site interface is extremely simple: after registration (you need a mobile number), you can immediately go to the search (see screenshot below).
The results are sometimes really impressive: the service finds (almost instantly) not only profiles with a photo of the person you are looking for, but also profiles with people similar to him! An example of a search is shown in the screenshot below.
Note: you can search for free on Find Clone only 30 times (after that, you will have to pay a little money for the service ...).
One of the most powerful and reliable ways to find a double is to use the well-known search engines: Yandex, Google and others. The essence of the method is that search engines allow you to search for pictures by picture. Those. if you have a close-up photo of a face, you can upload it to the service and find similar images.
In addition, another significant plus - this method is free, search engines are powerful enough and will give odds to all other services combined!
I'll show you using Yandex pictures as an example: first, just follow the link above ( https://yandex.ru/images/ ). In the upper part, on the right, there is a search button by image - click it!
Below is my original photo, to which I was looking for doubles.
As you can see, the search engine found dozens of pictures: many of the faces in the photo are very similar to the original! Moreover, another plus is that you will not only find photos, but also be able to find resources and addresses of pages on the Internet where these photos are presented (i.e. it is quite possible that the contacts of your double are left there and you can contact him - if, of course, you need it).
The presented service is unique in its kind (there were a few more, but they stopped functioning, at least those that I know (knew) about).
The essence of the service is that it first recognizes the photo you uploaded (more precisely, the face on it), and then begins to analyze it and look for the coincidence of your face with celebrities.
Results can vary greatly depending on the quality of the original photo (and its resolution, by the way!). For the best result, you need to upload a high-quality photo, which clearly shows your face.
How to use:
- go to the site (the link was given above);
- then you need to press the button "Upload Image";
- then choose a photo from your hard disk and wait for the end of the service ...
- the site will automatically determine the gender of the person captured in the photo (in the example below - gender is defined correctly!);
- age will also be determined (about);
- several famous people and percentages of similarity will be shown. In the example below, I should note that the degree of similarity is quite high - it can be seen with the naked eye.
The service leaves the most positive impressions of its work. In general, I can safely recommend to meet you!
Method 4: TinEye (search among 17 billion images)
Another very good service for finding photos and images. All you have to do is click only one button to download the photo. In a moment, the service will give you search results.
The service allows you to search among 17 billion images! This figure is very large and not every service can compete with so many photos and pictures.
The service is positioned as a search engine for images. In the future, it is planned to introduce subscriptions signaling the appearance of your copies (or similar) photos on the Internet, as well as search for several images at once.
In general, for those who often look for pictures and photographs, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with such a large database!
Note: Some users use TinEye to identify unknown soldiers by finding copies of photos on US servers with complete list and a description of the people present in the photo.
How-Old.net (age determination by photo)
I could not ignore this service: it, of course, does not know how to look for doubles, but it determines the age of people from the uploaded photo. Moreover, it does it very accurately!
For example, I uploaded photos of people I know (whose age I know), my own - the age is determined either exactly or with an error of 1 ÷ 3 years!
To determine age: just go to the site and upload a photo (Use your photo button, see the screenshot below).
The result will not be long in coming: in a few seconds you will see how old the person in the photo is.
Note: if you upload a photo that shows several people at once, the service will determine the age of each.
For high definition accuracy: upload high-quality photos without processing them with Photoshop (and other graphic editors).
This concludes the article, I hope you now have not one, but several doubles!
All the best!
Microsoft has launched a new service that allows you to find out which celebrity netizens look like. As it became known to the site, a service called CelebsLikeMe quickly became one of the most popular.
Users of the service are offered to upload their photo and wait until the system finds similarities with one or another movie star. Moreover, the search is carried out among the actors nominated for the "Oscar". The system finds the celebrity that is most similar to the user, and also produces 3 more results for comparison. You can check the operation of the service.
« Search results mean that you and the celebrity have a similar facial structure, but mixtures of different genders and races are possible."Bing search engine manager Ravi Yada explained.
According to the site, the creators of the new service believe that the facial recognition engine does a better job than anyone. At the same time, the system is constantly being improved. On the website of the service, there is a publication with the results of the research on which the work of the system is based.
Good day! In today's article, we will focus on finding a double by photo for free online. Finding your double from a photograph is a very interesting task. Unfortunately, the likelihood of meeting a "twin brother" on the street tends to zero.
Modern Information Technology can help us find a double using facial recognition software right on the couch. Someone does not even assume that he looks like a celebrity or just another person. Most of the proposed methods are not effective and do not lead to a positive result. In this case, the use of sites and online service with a proven track record.
Prerequisites for starting a search:
- laptop or computer with internet connection;
- the photo to be compared with.
In addition, the direction of a person's gaze in a photograph is the key to a successful search. If a person's gaze is directed to the side, then the result may not be accurate. Looking forward will increase the chance of a successful search. A solid-colored background will also contribute to obtaining a high-quality result. It is enough that the photo contains only a face image, there is no need to upload a full-length photo.
