New Visual Search Launched
SiliconBeat: Tiltomo: a visual search engine
Tiltomo's Beta is pre-loaded to search over 250,000 images pulled from Flickr to show off their capabilities. Corbis has been using similar technology from LTU Tech to enhance their royalty-free image search though VIMA Tech looks like a formidable player based on their technologists and technical advisors.
As more image-based content is uploaded to the web for distribution/access (estimates are that 5-10 million images are uploaded to various sites per day) this type of technology becomes as important for the screening of porn and other objectionable content as well as identification of copyrighted content as it does for similarity search. These types of technologies work best for searching photo collections when combined with other metadata such as keywords and tags.
StockPhotoTalk has also covered this and includes some links to other visual engines.
