Recognize for Nextcloud

Smart media tagging for Nextcloud

This app goes through your media collection and adds fitting tags, automatically categorizing your photos and music.

📷 👪 Recognizes faces from contact photos
📷 🏔 Recognizes animals, landscapes, food, vehicles, buildings and other objects
📷 🗼 Recognizes landmarks and monuments
👂 🎵 Recognizes music genres
⚡ Tagging works via Nextcloud's Collaborative Tags, allowing access by any of your apps
- 👂 listen to your tagged music with the audioplayer app
- 📷 view your tagged photos with the photos app

Note: This project is quite young and thus still a bit rough around the edges.

Examples

Privacy

This app does not send any sensitive data to cloud providers or similar services. All image processing is done on your nextcloud machine, using Tensorflow.js running in Node.js, which comes bundled with this app.

Behind the scenes

Recognize uses

a pre-trained Efficient Net v2 model for ImageNet object detection.
a pre-trained model trained on the Landmarks v1 dataset for landmark recognition.
face-api.js to extract and compare face features.
a Musicnn neural network architecture to classify audio files into music genres. Also see the original musicnn repository.

Install

Requirements

php 7.3 and above
App "collaborative tags" enabled
For native speed:
- Processor: x86 64bit (with support for AVX instructions)

For sub-native speed (using JavaScript mode)
- Processor: x86 64bit, arm64, armv7l (no AVX needed)
- System with glibc (Required by the bundled node.js binary; alternatively you can set the path to custom node.js binary)
~4GB of free RAM (if you're cutting it close, make sure you have some swap available)

One click

Go to "Apps" in your nextcloud, search for "recognize" and click install (currently only works on Nextcloud v22+. If you're below that, you'll need to install manually).
