Why do you want this?

[yunyuyuan]

I have some folders containing a large number of photos of similar documents. I occasionally need to check them, but they are not useful for machine learning training(also it will consume machine resources).

I think https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx might be a better fit for that usecase.

The document photo is just an example I provided. In fact, I have some other photos, such as screenshots and drawings,they also do not need to be used by machine learning.
