Change Details

This card tracks a proposal that's currently part of the Community Wishlist Survey: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2015_Community_Wishlist_Survey The Wishlist Survey voting phase lasts until Dec 14th. After the voting has concluded, the top proposals will form the backlog for the Community Tech team to investigate and address. **Proposal**: This is mainly needed on Wikimedia Commons. But if we had it there it would be useful in many other places. Image searches based on image recognition is a newish area of technology, I've seen it demonstrated at the British Library, it would have many interesting uses on Wikimedia Commons, not least in categorising new images; but also in enabling our GLAM partners and others to find new similarities amongst art objects and especially archaeological objects uploaded on Commons. Ideally it should work both from an individual image - "find images like this" from a category - these thousand images are examples of what a ship looks like, please find more like them, and from a highlighted area of an image.
