Image Hashing Library with Cache
Project description
ImageHashCache
===========
A image hashing library written in Python. ImageHashCache supports:
* average hashing (`aHash`_)
* perception hashing (`pHash`_)
* difference hashing (`dHash`_)
* caching resized images
Requirements
-------------
Based on PIL/Pillow Image, numpy and scipy.fftpack (for pHash)
Easy installation through `pypi`_.
Basic usage
------------
::
>>> from PIL import Image
>>> import imagehash
>>> hash = imagehash.average_hash(Image.open('test.png'))
>>> print(hash)
d879f8f89b1bbf
>>> otherhash = imagehash.average_hash(Image.open('other.bmp'))
>>> print(otherhash)
ffff3720200ffff
>>> print(hash == otherhash)
False
>>> print(hash - otherhash)

The demo script **find_similar_images** illustrates how to find similar images in a directory.
