Your tech guy said you are hashing (md5ing) the images. A simple resize kills your review and creates a duplicate entry.

You know what else does? Adding a url. Cropping. Color correction. Slight recompression.

You are going to have a database of millions and millions of pics, a large percentage of which will be dupes.

Invest in some real tech (not md5 hashing) and try it with that. By real tech I mean that there's some very high level image recognition tech that could probably do it - but it's an investment.

I don't see this being worth your time to be quite honest.

Sorry for the downer, just MO.
*Cuncur*, will be 2 man variable and you guys haven't even come close to thinking of all of them ( Believe Me). You guys better have a ton of lawyer money in the bank, and everything you own in someone else's name. Your programer better know a ton of AI, Fuzzy Logic, C and at the least have a Masters in Math. You guys are taking on some very serious cost in programing alone. I hope you know the programer or programmers very well and trust them.
Oh and computing prower, your going to need a fucking ton of it.
