Hello.

The topic of doppelgangers has long haunted many people: some want to be like some star, others simply dream of finding a person similar to themselves, while others became interested in it just by chance. As a rule, these people (especially if they are not very good at computers) have one thing in common: they ended up on some site that promises to find their double, sent an SMS (most often the service did not even say that it would withdraw money, but simply under the guise of checking) - and as a result, instead of a found double, they saw a message that a search was carried out, the double was not found (and a certain amount of money was withdrawn from the phone...).

In this short article I want to tell you a few simple (in my opinion) ways to find your double using a photo, without any tricks or loss of money. So, let's get started...

What do you need to find a double?

1. A computer with an Internet connection (this is obvious 🙂).

2. A photograph of the person for whom you are going to look for doubles. It's best if it's a regular photo without any processing. by different editors(photoshop, etc.). The most important thing is that the person captured in the photo looks straight at you, so that his face is not turned to the side or down (the accuracy of the search depends on this). Yes, one more detail, it is desirable that the background in the picture be some kind of neutral (white, gray, etc.). A full-length photograph is not needed - just the face is enough.

Option No. 1 - searching for doubles among celebrities

Website: http://www.pictriev.com/

The site PicTriev.com is the first one worth paying attention to. It's very easy to use:

1. go to the website (link above) and click the “Upload image” button (upload picture);
2. Next, select your prepared photo;
3. then the service pauses for 5-10 seconds. - and gives you the results: the age of the person in the photo, his gender, and famous people, who the photo resembles (by the way, the percentage of similarity is calculated automatically). The service is especially useful for those people who want to be like someone - they changed their image a little, took a photo, uploaded the photo and looked in which direction the percentage of similarity has changed.

Rice. 1. pictriev - search for doubles using a male photo (photo similar to Phoenix Joaquin, similarity 8%)

By the way, the service (in my opinion) works better with women's photos. The service almost accurately determined the gender and age of a person. The woman in the photo is most similar to Phoenix Edwige (26% similarity).

Option No. 2 - search for a double through search engines

This method will live as long as search engines live (or until they block the option to search for pictures based on pictures (sorry for the tautology)).

In addition, the method will give results more and more accurately every year (as search engine algorithms develop). There are quite a lot of search engines, I will give a short instruction on how to search in Google by photo.

1. First, go to the website https://www.google.ru and open the image search (see Fig. 3).

Rice. 3. Google Image Search

3. Then upload your photo and Google will search for similar photos.

As a result, we see that the woman in the photo looks like Sofia Vergara (the results found will contain a lot of photos similar to yours).

By the way, in a similar way you can find similar people in Yandex, and indeed any other search engines that can search by photo. Can you imagine the scope for testing? What if a new search engine comes out tomorrow or new, more advanced algorithms appear?! Therefore, this method is the most reliable and promising...

Where else can you look?

1. http://celebrity.myheritage.com- on this site you can find a double among celebrities. Before searching, you need to register. While it works for free, it is possible to install an application for a mobile phone.

2. http://www.tineye.com/ - a site with a huge number of photographs. If you register on it and upload a photo, you can scan it for similar people.

3. play-analogia.com is a good site for finding doubles, but Lately often unavailable. Maybe the developers abandoned it?

This concludes the article. To be honest, I have never been specifically interested in or deeply studied this topic, so I would be very grateful for comments and constructive additions.

And lastly, don’t be fooled by various promises about finding similar people via SMS - in 90% of cases this is a scam, unfortunately...

Instructions

Use the resource http://celebrity.myheritage.com, which is the official website mobile application MyHeritage, which allows you to find a double by . Register on the site or go directly to the link at the bottom of the page, which allows you to download the application to your phone, depending on your mobile platform. The search for a double is carried out among a fairly large list of celebrities.

Search for suitable applications in in social networks. For example, on VKontakte there is an application “Doubles - who looks like you?”, which searches for a double by photo in approximately the same way as in MyHeritage. By using search services you will find several more similar mini-games on various social networks.

Apply special services, searching for similar images. For example, you can find a double from a photo on the website http://www.tineye.com/. Just upload your photo from your computer through a special field and run it through the search. After some time, the service will display results with images and photographs of people similar to you.

Try to find a suitable resource or application to search for doubles by keywords through any of the Internet search engines. Similar programs and games come out quite often, so you may get lucky. Avoid scam sites that offer to view search results for similar people only after sending an SMS message to short number. As a rule, such services only withdraw money from mobile accounts, but do not help you find doubles using photos.

You can also summon the astral during a regular session of spiritualism. To do this, prepare a Whatman paper with a circle drawn on it. Place candles on the sides and draw an arrow or marker on the saucer. Heat the saucer over the candle flame, place it in the center of the circle, place your hands on it and instead of “Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, come,” say your name. After this you can feel discomfort in the solar plexus area, and other participants in the seance will be able to ask questions to your astral double.
