John Resig has just published some excellent data analysis combining
TinEye, image archives, and image clustering and deduplication to
identify identical and similar images across a large corpus.

Are we doing any commons analysis like this at the moment?
Is any similarity-analysis done on upload to help uploaders identify
copies of the same image that already exist online? Or to flag
potential copyvios for reviewers?
I'm sure TinEye would be glad to give us high-volume API access to
enable that sort of cross-referencing.
