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?

    Thanks for that link.

    AI is the umbrella term for ML, neural networks, etc.

    ResNet152 seems to be used only to recognice objects in the image to help when comparing images. I was not aware of that and i am not sure if i would classify it as actuall tool for image deduplication, but i have not looked at the code to determine how much they are doing with it.

    As of now they still state that they want to use ML technologies in the future to help, so they either forgot to edit the readme or they do not use it.
