Time, Inc. uses millions of images for its various brand websites. It is important for Time, Inc. to maximize reuse of content across brands while preventing perceived duplication and to track usage of images from various sources even after images have been resized, compressed, or otherwise altered. Using content-based image hashing techniques, our team has created a system to identify similar images even after they have gone through editing processes.
