Superfish has developed a unique, first of its kind, 3D object recognition engine to bring high-accuracy visual matching, browsing, and comparison into the world of search engines. The company's unique IP puts together machine vision, machine learning and advanced search algorithms to allow for users to intuitively find similar objects visually. Applications include comparison shopping (for items like cars, fashion, furniture, electronics), social networks (faces and people), mobile applications and many others. The strengths of Superfish's technology include ability to perform perceptual similarity, great background handling and no need for specific heuristics for different object categories.
Superfish sells its search capabilities to several major customers in the eCommerce space; in Q10 Superfish launched its consumer application, a browser add-on that uses visual search technology to help consumers find deals and other visually-similar items instantly while shopping. The product works on almost any product and on hundreds of shopping sites including Amazon.com, Best Buy, eBay, Macy's, and Overstock.com. Current index covers over 60 million products.
Superfish was founded with Xenia in 2006, matured incubator in 2008 and raised follow on funding from Draper Fisher Jurvetson, a leading Silicon Valley based VC, IVF VC based in Silicon Valley and DFJ Tamir Fishman.
