The system and know-how

Modern technology

Our system is built in Sweden, from scratch using the most modern design and technique.

Lightweight and scalable

Our system is lightweight, modular and scalable. It is not dependent on any third-party services or any specific cloud provider.

Innovative database solution

The innovative database structure makes it possible to handle up to a billion images per database server.

Microservice architecture

Tracemyfile system is highly dynamic, consisting of many different services - each operating on its own system, or launched as a group of tiny virtual mechanisms. Every service is designed to gracefully handle any other failure within the system.

The system consists of 5 distinct parts, each supported by one or several services:

• Database
• Discovery
• Download
• Analysis
• Indexing

Powered by neural networks

We run neural networks on graphics processing units which creates a unique fingerprint for each image. This fingerprint is used both in similarity searches and to find exact or close matches – the copies derived from the original.

Searchable within milliseconds

In order to make images searchable, we use the latest techniques for billion scale nearest-neighbour-search to compress and cluster the fingerprints and make them searchable within milliseconds.

Flexible

Tracemyfile system is extremely flexible in where, how and when it crawls. It is not locked to any specific crawling strategy or technique, which makes it easy to adapt to our client’s particular needs by adding appropriate metrics for analyzing.
