Hackathon Idea

Yet another photo tagging utility.
PhotoBomb is a working title (can change if I find a better one)

Your name

Paul Amazona

Team name

PhotoBomb

Brief Description

There are already a number of commercial automated photo tagging software out there.
I just want to make something for fun using ML.NET.
Basic Usage:

1. For each photo in a given folder, add tag for all objects found in that photo.
2. Photos can then be searchable in windows search using those tags.

The following are my planned requirements:

1. Must be open source (since we're doing this for learning and for fun)
2. Implemented as a single executable (portable utility)
3. object detection model should be pluggable. User should be able use a BYO model file for tagging
   perhaps, by adding --model_file in the parameter

Desired features if time permits:

1. Wrapped in a powershell cmdlet that can be pulled from powershell gallery
2. Can upload photos for tagging in a blazor webassembly site hosted freely in github pages
