Round up

Image recognition has come a long way. Without prior knowledge on the topic, Zandhuis showed that even an out-of-the-box algorithm is of value when detecting common entities even in 60 year old photographs. Moreover, by using Linked Data, Zandhuis illustrates the riches that lie ahead in combining traditional metadata, with metadata that can be newly derived from digitised images in archives. For example, filtering for images with 10+ persons, would retrieve all group photos. Images, with less than 3 persons, a desk and ties, might reveal official moments such as the signing of documents. Surely, archives would like to train detection algorithms to enhance precision and detect entities characteristic for the archive at hand. But, archives also struggle for money and a deep dive into out-of-the-box-tooling might give a unique sense of the possibilities.You Only Live Once.
