sort by visual similarity

[elementaryBot]

for photos were taken on the same event/day we should sort them by visual similarity. This would make it much easier to compare/select photos from a shoot.

Hm, I don't know. I think it's pretty expected that they'll be sorted by when they were taken. If we got this really right I could see it being useful, but I am not sure how trivial it is, nor how users would respond ("Why are they all out of order? I didn't take them in this order...").

Yeah. I did a shoot with like 500 photos this weekend, so I'm trying to think of ways that would have made it easier to sort that import

It's a very interesting idea, but not trivial to implement. Require changes in the db and a pattern recognition algorithm. It could be done with OpenCV and k-nn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-nearest_neighbors_algorithm - http://docs.opencv.org/modules/ml/doc/k_nearest_neighbors.html) but also requires to create a .vapi for openCV.
