About PIMINTO

PIMINTO (Personal IMagery INTelligence Operator) lets you search aerial imagery via text queries, uploading images, or just right-clicking on the map and choosing "Find similar".

This is a personal project created by John Wiseman .

I've been obsessed with the idea of planet-scale aerial imagery search for a long time. In 2010 when I was at Google I pitched the idea (below) but couldn't find the people who would be interested. I hadn't forgotten it, though, so it was extremely satisfying to find a way to make it work years later.
