Taipei, Taiwan—02 June 2023—With Computex 2023, one of the world’s leading technology trade shows was back on, and with it...
I've held off from updating to DSM 7.x because Synology Photos removed object recognition, a feature I use heavily in Momemts.
They announced recently that this feature will be coming back!
Photography enthusiasts and professionals were not forgotten at the exhibit, with Synology announcing the return of a user-favorite functionality — object recognition in its photo manager. Previously featured in Synology Moments, object recognition will soon be available to millions of Synology Photos users, giving photographers an essential tool to manage and sort their portfolios offline.
Personally, I didn't find the quality of Moment's object recognition convincing and eventually disabled it. So here's hoping that it might have gotten better (i.e. better trained models) over time... What bothers new more, though, is the inflexibility regarding face recognition results: last time I checked, one still could not remove false positives (i.e. incorrect tagged persons) or manually add face tags. Hopefully, this will be possible in the future.
