Search, indexing & deduplication of images
A production photo library must be able to find the right resource among originals, previews, editings and archives. The journey Reymann includes indexing the IMP and searching for duplicate images.
The tools of the
editorial production.
These Rey’actif views situate the functions in the editorial chain: products, images, pages and validation. They come from a demonstration of the platform in 2018.

The Rey’actif ecosystem used Elasticsearch for indexing PIM text and image data. This search layer completed the content storage and had to remain consistent with the repository.
A useful search depends on the information available: references, designations, media links and metadata. The scoping consists of understanding how teams are looking and what allows them to identify the right result.
A duplicate is not always an identical file
The channel may contain a high-definition original, a preview, a cut-out version and a variation intended for the web. Storing them as duplicates without examining their role would cause a loss of production.
Diagnostics included high and low definition relationships, unoriginal previews, and aberrant images. It was necessary to distinguish a technical deviation from an expected variant.
Search similar images
A duplicate image search tool with AI was included in the production environment. It complemented file-based and metadata-based controls.
The result of a detection must be examined in its context: product reference, edition, clipping, dimensions and quality of the original. Visual similarity helps find candidates; Conservation decisions depend on the actual role of resources.
Maintaining links with documents and archives
An image that is moved or misreferenced may remain present on disk and become unobtainable for publication. Recaptures and XML exports also required checking paths and correspondence.
We link the diagnosis of the photo library to its uses: search, consultation, page preparation and export. The quality of the fund is measured by the ability to reuse the right image in the right place.
An image returns its product, versions and uses.
The organization of the photo library combines identifiers, metadata, preparation of visuals and reuse in publications.
