FAQs

What is a base64 image string, and what does it do?

A base-64 image string is an image that has been converted(encoded) to a different format(pixel rgb -> alphabet). The 'search_by_base64_image' function in backend/app.py accepts a b64 encoded image string as an arguement, writes/overwrites it to a temp.jpg file after which the model is run on it as an alternative to searching for an image on the internet by URL.
