###Description of the project and how it will be used
This is a project to support the incorporation of machine vision (MV) generated metadata into Foundation products. Specifically, the project will support:
- Requesting MV-generated image metadata from machine vision providers (internal and/or external) and storing results
- Serving MV data to Commons users for verification and promotion to Structured Data on Commons
For full discussion, see the project page at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Product/Machine_vision_middleware.
###Description of any sensitive data to be collected or exposed
None
###Technologies employed
MediaWiki, Wikibase, PHP, MySQL
###Dependencies and vendor code
- Google Cloud Vision official PHP client library: https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php-vision
- Note: Google Cloud Vision is currently only tentatively to be a machine vision provider.
###Working test environment
- The extension is currently live on Beta Commons; see https://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:MachineAidedTagging
- A local testing environment can be set up in MediaWiki-Vagant (via the `machinevision` role) or in an experimental Docker environment. Please see the project [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/MachineVision/+/master/README.md | README ]] and contact Michael Holloway (IRC: `mdholloway`) with questions.
###Post-Deployment
The extension will be maintained primarily by Product Infrastructure, with secondary support from the Structured Data team, particularly for Wikibase and frontend JS issues.
