Corrigon

Corrigon (Hebrew: קוריגון) was a Tel Aviv-based visual search company founded in 2007 by Einav Itamar and Avinoam Omer. Corrigon's main business is in the field of copyright monitoring: Corrigon provided image monitoring that identified how and where images are being used in the internet and in print.

Corrigon's Image identifier used content-based image retrieval algorithms to identify images even when they have been colorized, cropped, or otherwise modified. The user's interface was web-based. The system identified all images found on the web that looked similar to the input images, and generated a periodic usage report for Corrigon's clients.

Corrigon was acquired by eBay in October 2016 for $20 million. Corrigon’s team looks like it will all be joining the company, and it will continue to operate out of Israel, where eBay already has a structured data group in place in Netanya.
