This Chrome extension was a fun side project created to learn how to build a simple Chrome extension for finding matching photos in Google Drive albums. The extension utilizes the Google Cloud Vision API for facial recognition.
- Allows users to upload a clear photo and search through a Google Drive album for matching faces.
- Supports JPEG, PNG, and GIF image formats.
- Displays matching photos in a grid layout.
- The extension does not work in full-screen mode.
- Processing might take some time, depending on the number of photos.
- Limited to a maximum of 500 images per search.
- Potential accuracy issues due to variations in lighting, facial expressions, or image quality.
- A Google API key for accessing Google Drive and using the Cloud Vision API.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/tamarGaler/FindMe.git ```cd - Open Chrome and navigate to
chrome://extensions/. - Enable "Developer mode" by toggling the switch at the top right.
- Click "Load unpacked" and select the cloned project folder.
- Open the extension and paste the link to your Google Drive album.
- Upload a clear photo of the person you want to find.
- Click "Find My Photos" and wait for the matching photos to appear in the grid.
- The extension may not work on all Chrome versions.
- Accuracy can be affected by differences in lighting, facial expressions, or photo quality.
