Google goggles API [closed]

Does anyone know if there is a google goggles API for Android? If not, is there one coming any time soon? With an API for this thing the possibilities are endless...

So far all I've been able to find on this subject is a discussion about not currently having a version for the iPhone due to it's "google labs" status (iPhone version coming once it's more "complete"). I'm hoping an API may be released then. Anybody have any info on this at all?

Solution 2:

Not an official API but this guy seems to have reversed engineered some of it.

You may also want to try VisualSearchAPI.com, they have visual search APIs. See demo and docs here. http://www.visualsearchapi.com/demo/view?demo=1 and http://www.visualsearchapi.com/apiDoc/apiDoc?apiDoc=V

Shameless, shameless plug:

There's also http://kooaba.com which offers Visual Search.

Solution 5:

Here is an open API for visual search (image recognition): http://www.iqengines.com/, see developer portal.
