>> [Wikipedia, "Argus Panoptes"][1]

Argus is a specialized, site-targeted reverse image search application. It 

continually indexes images from various sites, recording their perceptual hashes

in a clustered database.

Once indexed, users can then search the data set for their works, seeing where 

and when they've been uploaded.

## Requirements

  * Elasticsearch

  * .NET 7

## Components

Argus is composed of a suite of programs, each serving a specific purpose.

### Argus.Coordinator

The coordinator serves as the main node of the cluster, accepting collected 

images and evenly spreading them out to workers. Once fingerprinted, the 

coordinator indexes the images in Elasticsearch.

### Argus.Worker

Worker instances pull collected images from the coordinator, fingerprinting and

returning them for indexing.

Workers may join or leave the cluster at any time.

### Argus.Collector.*

Collectors are specialized programs that know how to continually download images

from one specific service. Once downloaded, the collectors pass the images to

the coordinator for distribution to workers.
