I know my wife has as a painter and photographer. I can't answer the question about how Attributor has done this, I honestly don't know and the conversation is over my head anyway, but they seem confident that the system they have not only can be done effectively without too much computational power to be feasible, but also that it can resist minor modifications such as cropping, brightening, scaling, etc. How it works I don't know. This is an area I leave to those who know better, but the results will speak for themselves. We'll know for certain when the product is made public. I know I can't wait though...

I'm also a software developer, from 9ish to 5ish ... and this is fascinating, well beyond the pretty girls aspect. It would be easy to compare two images bytewise, and get false negatives. If they're the same size, it would also be easy to compare the individual pixels, and compute the overall % match. A system could even scale an original down to match copies at different sizes to compare them ... which is going to demand more raw computing horsepower than Google has at their command. How to decide <b>quickly</b> whether or not to spend the time analyzing the images, letting the application scale to a usable level ... just to keep pace with the internet of today ... is a more daunting task.
