Looks great, I'm currently in the market for something like this.

Can any users give their experience using this over other alternatives? What sort of issues do you run into with regard to speed and/or accuracy?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for your comment.

I have currently a test case with a 140 000 images index. The search time is less than 2 seconds on 3.00GHz Core2 Duo CPU with 4 GB of RAM. The accuracy is then, for me, satisfying . Pastec is still being developed and there are many possible improvements to reduce this time.

It is however difficult to compare Pastec with the competition as most image recognition APIs are not free for large databases.
