Find similar images or videos in our own files

Looking for a way to find similar images or videos in my own photo and video libraries by using an adobe app, hopefully Bridge. Is this possible? 

 

For example, I need to find all photos on my system that look like another photo I selected as the source. This feature would be very useful to have in Bridge!

    This capability is not possible in Bridge, and due to the basic structure of Bridge (it doesn't look at the files as it's only a file browser), it is not likely to ever be possible. You can do this now in Lightroom Desktop (not Lightroom Classic). 

     

    Sorry,

    I remember a Adobe Max Sneak that demoed this very function.

    it was not searching within Bridge, but on Behance: https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-max-2015-sneak-peek-videos.html

    In 2011, there was Pixel Nuggets, but my memory betrayed me, it was not on Bridge either:

    It is sad, when our cell phones can search for elements contained in our pictures, to not have in our preferred browser.

    I just posted another link, and neither search demoed were performed on existing programs...


    (Sorry for the delay, but I was out taking my dog for a walk)

     

    I think the reason why these were not displayed on current programs is that it's because it's "Sneaks!" (LOL)

     

    One common thread between these two Sneaking Applications and LRD is that they all are directly internet connected. At this point, to get this level of AI, it might need a constant internet connection. 

     

    On the other hand, though, LRC does do facial recognition, but I'm not certain how much, if any, requires constant internet hand-holding. It does learn as it progresses. When I did my family photos, going back to the 1910s, some of the suggestions it made were comically bad. But as I progressed with the process, it did a remarkable job of identifying kid photos correctly when I had taught it the adult version of that person. Again, I do not know if that is a link to the internet or what is doing the work. I just tried looking for related-type objects (e.g., Bridge, chair, etc.) in various folders, and it could not do that at all. Perhaps because currently, the text search field is looking at keywords or other such metadata as opposed to image content.

     

    Since phones, by their nature, are always connected to the internet, such searches are more likely possible. And, to add to that, all Lightroom Desktop/Mobile/Web content is bathed in internet activity.
