How Mediachain Hopes to Improve Image Crediting on the Web | PDN Online

Summary:

"The web is awash with uncredited images. The tech startup Mediachain Labs is hoping to get photographers the credit they’re due.

They’ve done this by ingesting a trove of images with Creative Commons licenses from over 30 image sharing platforms such as Flickr, along with the attribution found on those platforms. It then used neural network-powered content identification technology to de-duplicate over 400 million images, leaving it with a base of 125 million photos."
