What is Reddit's opinion of Imgseek?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You won't want to code this in PHP. Rather, you might consider making API calls to an external tool / service that you run:

I've been experimenting with this and have setup an image server with iskdamon [1]. What you are asking for is called Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) [2].

It works like this:

• I add photos via upload via PHP.
• PHP Script kicks off import into the image server with an XML-RPC call
• I can now query the image server in PHP with another XML-RPC call

I can query the image server via several methods:

• Submit the current image as a blob-type
• Or I can tell it "give me the closest 25 images to image ID 99"

Check out the docs with isk-daemon. They are pretty good, and I'm surprised how good it works.
