So, I’m selfhosting immich, the issue is we tend to take a lot of pictures of the same scene/thing to later pick the best, and well, we can have 5~10 photos which are basically duplicates but not quite.
Some duplicate finding programs put those images at 95% or more similarity.
I’m wondering if there’s any way, probably at file system level, for the same images to be compressed together.
Maybe deduplication?
Have any of you guys handled a similar situation?
Not sure if you’re aware, but Immich has a duplicate finder
From what I understand OP’s images aren’t the same image, just very similar.
Yeah, the duplicate finder uses a neural network to find duplicates I think. I went through my wedding album that had a lot of burst shots and it was able to detect similar images well.
Would be surprised if there is any AI involved. Finding duplicates is a solved problem.
AI is only involved in object detection and face recognition.
