How to map 1000 images?

[parasjain-12]

In your code you are mapping the images manually but what if we have more than 1000 images how we will map then?
Here is what you have done:

    if int(identity) <=4:
        return str('abc'), min_dist
    if int(identity) <=8:
        return str('xyz'), min_dist

If we have more than 1000 images of images it is not possible to map it according to that , Is there any other approach to do it.
Please help

@parasjain-12 - Yes, using a map is naive and will not be able to scale.
I would suggest using some sort of a search engine perhaps elastic search for faster retrieval.
I haven't explored the possibilities though.
