[digiKam-users] a wild idea or wish

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi all,

This kind of photo contents analysis exist already with this CLI tool :

https://github.com/scheckmedia/photils-cli

Photils API is very simple to handle and can be used in a dedicated
digiKam plugin. The image content is analyzed locally, a fingerprint
is computed locally by a AI engine, the photo still on computer. AI
parse the fingerprint and return a list of keywords. Et voilà, you
have the tags to validate in client application.

We plan to include photils as extra digiKam plugin later 7.2.0. Please
be patient...

Best

Gilles Caulier
