What is the crowd's opinion of Imgseek?

From 3.5 billion comments

You won't want to code this in PHP. Rather, you might consider making API calls to an external tool / service that you run:

I've been experimenting with this and have setup an image server with iskdamon [1]. What you are asking for is called Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) [2].

It works like this:

• I add photos via upload via PHP.
• PHP Script kicks off import into the image server with an XML-RPC call
• I can now query the image server in PHP with another XML-RPC call

I can query the image server via several methods:

• Submit the current image as a blob-type
• Or I can tell it "give me the closest 25 images to image ID 99"

Check out the docs with isk-daemon. They are pretty good, and I'm surprised how good it works.

Quick notes feature for folder or media file independent of file metadata. useful for documenting source, etc.

Finding image duplicates using hash may not be enough.. Imgseek or something similar to what Digikam is using.

Load images in slideshow or gallery thumbnail view recursively for quick browsing.
