Explore images with Google Image Swirl

For a moment I thought Bing image is cool. Google image search introduce image swirl in the labs that categorized the image search result. Output will be simple rather than showing up 10000 images that you will have no idea.


Google says

You can then further explore additional sub-groups within any cluster. The interface may look familiar to those of you who have tried Google's Wonder Wheel available in the Search Options panel, which enables you to explore related search queries.

Image Swirl expands on technologies developed for Similar Images and Picasa Face Recognition to discern how images should be grouped together and build hierarchies out of these groups. Each thumbnail on the initial results page represents an algorithmically-determined representative group of images with similar appearance and meaning. These aren't just the most relevant images — they are the most relevant groups of images.
