Image auto tags

Images are automatically tagged with subject keywords. Image auto tags help people to explore your collection.

About image auto tags

When Vernon Browser imports images, it uses an image recognition product called Google Cloud Vision to find subjects within those images. Google Cloud Vision automatically applies these subjects as tags.

People can select an image auto tag on a record to explore all records in your collection with the same tag.

View your image auto tags

Go to Browse data > By Image Auto Tags.

Delete an image auto tag

Sometimes Google Cloud Vision applies an image auto tag that isn’t useful. For example, a ‘ruler’ tag on images of specimens that contain a ruler for scale. You can delete tags from your records. If new records are added to Vernon Browser, the tag won’t be applied.

1. Go to Browse Data > By Image Auto Tags.
2. Choose the tag you want to remove.
3. From the tag detail page, select any image that contains the tag. If you want to remove a tag from just one record, select that image.
4. On the object detail page, go to the Image Auto Tags tab.
5. On the list of image auto tags, find the tag.
6. Select Delete from all records, or Delete (to delete from just that record).

Verify an image auto tag

You won’t need to verify image auto tags often. It's just a way of confirming the tag label is accurate. If Google Cloud Vision reanalyses the images, it would always keep that tag even if it's not so sure about it.

1. Go to Browse Data > By Image Auto Tags.
2. Choose the tag you want to verify.
3. From the tag detail page, select any image that contains the tag.
4. On the object detail page, go to the Image Auto Tags tab.
5. On the list of image auto tags, find the tag.
6. Select Verify.
