Explains how images become 1000‑dimensional feature vectors via a CNN (example ResNet pretrained on ImageNet) converting ~1M+ pixel RGB arrays into compact descriptors, then stores those vectors in OpenSearch (with the k-N plugin) and uses approximate k‑NN (example k=5) to return nearest images. Architecture uses SageMaker endpoints for feature extraction, OpenSearch + S3 for storage, and Lambda + API Gateway for serverless retrieval, with tunable sampling to trade accuracy for latency.
