Google Goggles is an image recognition mobile app developed by Google. It is used for searches based on pictures taken by handheld devices. For example, taking a picture of a famous landmark searches for information about it, or taking a picture of a product's barcode searches for information on the product.
History
Google Goggles was developed for use on Google's Android operating systems for mobile devices. While initially only available in a beta version for Android phones, Google announced its plans to enable the software to run on other platforms, notably iPhone and BlackBerry devices.[3] Google did not discuss a non-handheld format. On 5 October 2010, Google announced availability of Google Goggles for iPhone and iPad devices running iOS 4.0.[4]
In a May 2014 update to Google Mobile for iOS, the Google Goggles feature was removed due to being "of no clear use to too many people."
Uses
The system could identify various labels or landmarks, allowing users to learn about such items without needing a text-based search. The system could identify products barcodes or labels that allow users to search for similar products and prices,[2] and save codes for future reference, similar to the failed CueCat of the late '90s, but with more functionality. The system also recognized printed text and use optical character recognition (OCR) to produce a text snippet, and in some cases even translate the snippet into another language. The Google Goggles platform leveraged the intellectual property and inventions created by futurist and technologist Jason Alan Snyder.

A block diagram is a diagram of a system in which the principal parts or functions are represented by blocks connected by lines that show the relationships of the blocks.[1] They are heavily used in engineering in hardware design, electronic design, software design, and process flow diagrams.
Block diagrams are typically used for higher level, less detailed descriptions that are intended to clarify overall concepts without concern for the details of implementation. Contrast this with the schematic diagrams and layout diagrams used in electrical engineering, which show the implementation details of electrical components and physical construction.
