SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 27, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- HIT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Hitachi America, Ltd., today announced that their similar image search engine, GazoPa (http://www.gazopa.com) application will begin open beta testing and is available to the public at large. All features are available for test users without log in. The primary goal is to obtain a broad range of feedback, which will enable Hitachi to evaluate the broad scale market potential.

GazoPa is a next generation image search engine that uses characteristics such as a color or a shape extracted from the image itself. In addition to the keyword search capabilities, GazoPa even enables the use of users' own photos, drawings, and images found on the web, as search keys to locate similar images.

Hitachi has been enhancing GazoPa since its invitation-only beta launch on September, 2008. Released Facebook application "GazoPa book" and "GazoPa Drawing" and GazoPa for iPhone application.

Other new features included for evaluation during this open beta testing are filtering latest images and reusable images. Latest images can now be displayed by a filtering option. GazoPa enables users to filter images that are for commercial and remix use. These features we incorporated based on feedback provided during the private beta test launch in September, 2008.

Due to the significant increase occurring relating to the number of images that have less metadata and more prevalent demand for these image search capabilities, Hitachi's GazoPa application can effectively meet these demands in a more intuitive and convenient way.

In the future, Hitachi plans to release additional features that make image search more efficient and exciting.
