Talk:PHASH

Calculating Perceptual hashes (PHASH) and comparing image similarity)

Some thoughts - What I do when I get a list of similar pictures I create two bat files. The first renames the files so that each of the duplicates are sequential in a directory and include the names and maybe other information. I will use the size so that the larger file will be first and the smaller next so that when I use an image viewer I can just delete the second after verifying it is similar.

Note JPG files are lossy format so you need to be aware that EACH time you save the file you loose some quality. Also note that just because a image is larger does not mean that the image is better. It could be that the other image was enlarged or adjusted and you find the quality of the larger image is worse than the smaller image.
