The interpretation process:
Google analyzes the image, creating a mathematical
model based on shapes, lines, proportions, colors and
other elements. Then, it matches the model against
images already in Google’s index. Google then does page
analysis to take a text-based guess at what the image is,
identifying the image and returning similar results.
