Also, will it (ImageDiff Engine) be able to match images that have been cropped, flipped or created into advertising materials?

There are 2 ways that 2257lookup works.
The first option (which i took the demo down since i am tweaking it ) is you can just upload a pic, if there is a match, you get an email that says it found a match, and you pay a small transaction fee (ie. $5). After paying the fee, you get an email that has the info.
This service is more for those that find a pic and want to know where they can buy the set... it identifies the content producer ad/or distrbutor that carries that image, so that you can license the image.
The other way is a subscription service where you sign up to have your site spidered. This service would be a yearly service, with scans done once a quarter (can be done more if desired for a higher price).
Tentative pricing is $100/domain per year.. which is based on a number of images (haven't figured it out yet).
For sites that have one big server and many domain that point to the server, the pricing will be based on number of images (ie. $100 for every 50,000 images, etc).
I'll have more details at Internext.
If you crop an image, then a match won't be found. If you resize an image, it can be found. Flipped images can be found. Composite images (taking several different images and creating a new image) can't be found. Images that have watermarking added to the image (ie. the website url) can be found for a match.
