New York - Viewdle, a provider of video search technology, has raised an undisclosed amount of capital from KIT Capital, a Dubai-based investment firm.

Launched last year, New York-based Viewdle is developing a facial-recognition technology-powered digital media platform for indexing, searching and "monetizing" video assets.

"The Viewdle engine fuses pioneering visual analysis technology along with other leading audio and text-based search techniques to go 'inside the clip' and identify contextually-relevant appearances based on true video assets," according to the company.
