KLIO Picture Labeler
Historical archives often have to deal with a huge amount of photographs and other historical images. Once they are digitalized, they need to get categorized: What is pictured on them?
This application is an experimental approach to use automated image-recognition for this task.
This first version runs with Google Vision. A further goal is to integrate other picture-recognition-APIs as well to get better results (e.g. Microsoft Computer Vision, IBM Visual Recognition, etc.).
