Image search on the Web is largely dependent on looking for keywords within tags or text surrounding a photo. Polar Rose claims that its combination of technology and user intelligence enables it to find people within images without having to depend on text indicators.

The 3D conversion greatly improves the matching ability by helping to eliminate pose and light in order to build generic attributes of faces.
