Project Description

Study Google Motion Photo file format, which records a short video clip in addition to actual photo in the same jpeg file.

Goal for this Hackweek

Study the format, there seems to be both old and new format. Old format has someone who has documented it, new format does not seem to be anywhere.

Posted information about the formats in my blog post at https://timojyrinki.gitlab.io/hugo/post/2021-03-30-pixel-motionphoto-microvideo-file-formats/ and the Shotwell ticket linked to from there.

    Image ranker via click-to-choose using locally running UI by jeremy_moffitt

    Description

    Create an locally deployable application that allows the user to repeatedly choose between two images from a set to rank them over the course of multiple comparisons. The image set should be loadable from a local file folder the user specifies, then the program displays 2 images at a time to the user who selects their preferred image, random comparisons continue until the user decides they are done, or some threshold for comparisons is met (for example, all images except 1 have "lost" 5 times). The resulting stack sort is available to the user. As a stretch goal the images could be renamed or copy+rename based on the results. Additional stretch goal would be to sort images from a library of URLs (or perhaps a flickr stream). An unlikely but ambitious additional stretch goal is to filter out blurry images using some sort of AI plugin.

    Goals

    Provide an easily deployable interface in either golang or python (TBD) that supports easy image searching.
    Expand the pool of possible image imports over time.
    Opportunistically add AI filtering of images based on sharpness or other features.
    Application runs on OpenSUSE (stretch goal to also test on Windows)

    Resources

    Expectation is user can run this on a local machine. This is also meant as a learning project for freesimplegui and image understanding with Gemini
    https://freesimplegui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/quickstart
    https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/image-understanding

    This could be used for sorting a large number of photos for quality/artistic purposes. This could also be used to rank the things that the photos/pictures represent, say ranking world wonders or food items or marvel movies.

    Completed

    • Add selector between view mode (1 picture shown, readonly driven by left side list) and vote mode (shows 2 photos click to vote)
    • Track voting results
    • Persist voting results on local disk (use directory path as key)
    • re-sort list by win percentage as votes are cast
    • localization support (English and Portuguese implemented)
    • exif data display in view only mode
    • export results to csv
    • ask Gemini to vote
    • ask Gemini to evaluate a single photo
