Manage similar assets

Thanks to the Similarity Search feature, CELUM Content is able to detect similar image assets which either have similar colours or similar patterns. You can see all similar assets in the "Similar assets" detail view tab for image assets.

Additional subscription required

To use the Similarity Search, a subscription for it is necessary for your organisation in CELUM Cloud Account. Please contact the CELUM Cloud organisation's manager to take care of the subscription process.

On the left side of the tab, you see the currently selected asset. On the right side, a list with similar assets is shown. The most similar assets are shown at the top of the list, the least similar assets at the bottom. The first asset in the list is pre-selected:

You can collapse the list of similar assets with the button "Hide list" to get some more space.

Create a relation between similar assets

Open the context menu for either the currently selected asset or the similar asset.
Click "Create relation with the current asset" (if you opened the context menu for the similar asset) or "Create relation with the similar asset" (if you opened the context menu for the current asset). A new dialog for creating relations opens:

The asset for which you executed the action is always displayed on the left side of the dialog.
Choose a type of relation and a direction for the relation.

The available relation types depend on your CELUM Content configuration and are determined by a technical administrator.
Click "Confirm" to create the relation.

In order to better organize your content, you can link a found similar asset to additional parent collections.

Open the context menu for the similar asset.
Click "Link" in the context menu. A collection picker opens.
In the collection picker, pick one or multiple collections that the similar asset should be linked to.
Click "Link" to confirm your choice.
The similar asset is now located in all chosen parent collections.

Sometimes you may want to find out if a particular similar asset that was found for the currently selected asset has other, still unknown similar assets:

Open the context menu for the similar asset.
Click "Similar assets" in the context menu.
The Similarity Search now looks for similar assets again, and shows them in the detail view. But this time, the previous similar asset is the current asset (shown on the left side) and its own similar assets are shown on the right side.

Adjust the similarity threshold

The similarity threshold defines how much similarity the current asset and the found similar assets must at least have. The higher the percentage-value of the threshold, the more similar the found assets must be to the current asset, and the fewer similar assets are found. For example, 80 % means only assets that share at least 80 % similarity with the current asset will be shown.

To increase or decrease the similarity threshold, simply move the slider above the list of similar assets.
