Auto Categorization

Auto Categorization is a Media Library Organizer Pro feature that uses the Imagga image detection service to automatically assign categories to images based on their content. Configure your Imagga authorization code and confidence level to control which categories are detected and applied.

In this article

Prerequisites

  • Any Media Library Organizer Pro license

Overview

Settings are used to:

  • Define the Imagga Authorization Code, to allow images to be automatically categorized
  • Determine the minimum confidence level required for a category to be assigned to an image

In the WordPress Administration interface, click on Media Library Organizer > Settings

Media Library Organizer: Settings Menu

Settings

In the Advanced Modules tab, the Auto Categorization section allows you to define the following settings:

Authorization Code

To allow Auto Categorization to automatically categorize images, you must obtain an authorization code from Imagga - a freemium, third party image detection service:

  • Visit https://imagga.com/auth/signup
  • Complete the fields
  • Click the Create your account button
  • Click Continue to my dashboard
  • Copy the Authorization code in the black box
  • Paste the Authorization code in to the Setting's Imagga: Authorization Code field within your WordPress installation.

Confidence Level

Each Category determined in an image by Imagga will have a confidence rating percentage, between 0 and 100. The higher the rating, the more confident that the Category is accurate.

Choosing a higher percentage will result in fewer categories being detected for an image, with those categories having a greater accuracy.

Choosing a lower percentage will result in more categories being detected for an image, with some categories having a potentially lower accuracy.

Add New Categories To

The Add New Categories To field determines which Taxonomy to store the Term(s) in.

By default, this will be Media Library Organizer's built in Media Categories Taxonomy, but if you've added other Taxonomies through the Taxonomy Manager, you'll be able to choose them here.

Store Terms within Auto Categorization Term?

If enabled, Terms created and assigned to Images are stored within a top level "Auto Categorized" Term. This is useful if you prefer to group Terms.

Save

Once you have made changes to the settings, click the Save button.

On screen confirmation will display to confirm that the settings have been updated.
