• Pillow: For image manipulation and wide image support.

Basic Example

To check a whole folder non-recursively:

from storage import dupelicate

if __name__ == '__main__':
    dupelicate.find('path/to/your/folder')

this will print out the duplicates with a similarity value. In both the Duplicate and Imagehash class are some values you can change.

• threshold: How much of a pixel difference 2 images have to be, to be counted as being similar.
• max_cores: Maximum amount of cpu cores the program will use.
• size: the size of the resized image in pixels.

Keep in mind when changing the size of the hex will expand exponentially, change the threshold accordingly.
