Google would own if it had this

Had this idea.
The person who invents the first image reverse look up will own the internet, think about it all thous people can confirm where pictures are coming from and who the pictures are of. Even when and where they are first posted.
Imagine you get some image and you want to find out where it came from or who it is. You upload it, the server scans all the pixels in and makes a colour-signature. Then it does a search for images on websites, forums, etc untill it finds a close match. This should technically work because even if the image is a different size the colour patterns should be similar.
You can also look at the top 100 images searched for, etc.
You can call it ImageSource or PictureSource, it would seriously own.
