+ LTU Image-Seeker Technology Used to Help Find Stolen and Looted Property

Identifying works of art looted during the Nazi period is one of the focuses of a new technology platform powered by LTU technologies for MyThings (www.mythings.com), the international registry of valuables. LTU has announced that the recent expanded deployment includes an upgraded visual search facility for MyThings, which has been an LTU customer since 2005.

“MyThings (formerly called Swift-Find) incorporates LTU technology in its Trace service (www.trace.com) which includes the world’s largest cross-category international database of stolen valuables,” said Ken Bouche, Vice President of Trace.

“MyThings also developed Trace Looted Art (www.tracelootedart.com), which includes the largest international online database of Nazi era looted art and is constantly being checked against objects for sale by dealers and auction houses,” Bouche said.
