Hi all! My team has been working on a B2B visual recognition startup, but we think we may make our platform available for anyone. The idea is that anyone can make an image recognition app without coding. The app could be used as an object recognizer or a visual dictionary. The app has image management and content management features for creators. Then public users can use its search function. If you have a team, you…

Is the purpose of making it available to anyone to crowd source images and metadata?

Hi all, I am co-founder of Lookuq and want to explain a bit more about our idea. There is a lot of apps to recognize some things. Popular example are PlantNet, PlantSnap for recognizing plants. They all have similar functionality, you take a picture of the object and then the app show you a list of objects it thinks what is it. Click on it, you can see more information about the object. There are many things which vi…

Maybe this is something you want to keep internal to your company, but can you say anything about the model architecture being used here?

I can not tell much about the model architecture. We have some proprietary technology to reduce the amount of images needed for training and to increase accuracy.

App creators own the data and decide who get access or get to use their search model. We don't. But yes, the more recognition models are made, the more benefit public users will get out of it.

Quite interesting! I can see many benefits for leveraging your platform. Curious, how is the name pronounced? (I don't want to seem a fool as I mention this platform to my peers.) Is it pronounced similar to "look-yoo-que" or "loo-cook" or "look-uck"??? Thanks!

The name Lookuq came from "look up" and should have the same meaning. But the domain lookup.com is not available. So we just switched the last character from "p" to "q" to have the domain. We pronounce Lookuq as "look up".

Thanks so much! You may want to consider adding this note to your website (maybe in an "About" section). I can imagine many visitors would be curious about the name too. Plus, what you encountered with domain name conflict is an issue that we've all been struck by; so you are not alone! Kudos again for your platform!

Thanks, nice suggestion!
