- rvnx 3y agoSpending 6 millions EUR per year to get an index of blurry pictures in ElasticSearch (that they just crawled from somewhere). Well, it's only here for 15 years... so make the calculation.
- c0balt 3y agoYou are clearly misrepresentating the value here. They also put a watermark on each image. /s
- capitainenemo 3y agoIn all fairness, they don't all have watermarks. I don't know why. Perhaps they collected images from a variety of sources before downscaling and those sources included watermarks. I kind of wish that sort of thing had been part of the QA process though. Decent resolution and clean images would make this so much more valuable.
- notachatbot123 3y agoWhere and what exactly? I entered "dog" as search term and each and every item I clicked on, that had a Download option, worked fantastically well: https://www.europeana.eu/en/search?page=1&view=grid&query=dog https://www.europeana.eu/en/search?page=1&view=grid&query=do... Taxpayer money well spent indeed!
- capitainenemo 3y agoStill very low resolution though :/
- notachatbot123 3y agoWhich one? I got a gigapixel image of a nice artwork as a TIFF with little effort.
- capitainenemo 3y agoThe image in the parent we were commenting on, and many others I searched for as well. I couldn't find any interface for identifying which resources on the remote sites were of reasonably high resolution that would be useful, and which were not.
