Search images using part of the picture #40

Hi @rhsimplex, I come again with another question. When I searched images from Elasticsearch backend using part of the image(1/2, 1/3 of the image), it is hardly to find a image matched. I want to solve this problem to some extent. Could you give me some advice?

Ok, thank you.

Hello again @Lvctao,

The image-match algorithm is theoretically capable of handling heavy cropping, but this hasn't been implemented yet. Therefore, I'm not surprised your images aren't matching.

If you are interested in writing this feature yourself, I can advise you how to do it, but it's not trivial!

I think that the README.md should very clearly state what this search engine should, and should not be used for. It is entirely reasonable that someone would assume that this could be a valid use case for this engine and waste a lot of time trying to get it to work

Can this Engine match two image of Donald Trump in different Colored clothes ? I want to know what it can be used for ?

@dsslimshaddy This engine can only find nearly-identical images. It is not an object detection engine.

@rhsimplex Any plans on implementing this feature in the nearest future? If not - can you give some advices on how could that be accomplished? I might also be interested in implementing that.
