Using Weaviate to Find Waldo

What's this blog post about?

In this text, the author discusses using Weaviate, an open source search engine, to locate Waldo in a "Where's Waldo" book. The author explains how Weaviate can convert natural language questions into vectors and find other nearby vectors to pinpoint relevant information. They also mention that Weaviate supports image data and performs the same type of "near image" search across a vector space. The author demonstrates this by splitting an input image into smaller chunks, converting each chunk into a vector, and then using Weaviate to find which chunk is similar to an image of Waldo. Finally, they reassemble the original image with the identified chunk highlighted. This technique has potential applications in various fields such as agriculture, insurance, and e-commerce.
