This repository provides a collection of Python tools and applications for comparing images using various algorithms such as ORB (Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF) and SSIM (Structural Similarity Index). The tools include both command-line scripts and graphical user interface (GUI) applications for ease of use.

Key Features

• ORB Feature Matching: Identifies and matches features between two images using the ORB algorithm.
• SSIM Comparison: Computes the Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) between two images and visualizes the similarity map.
• Graphical User Interface (GUI): Tkinter-based applications allow users to compare images visually using either SSIM or ORB.
• Object Detection: Supports object detection using the YOLO (You Only Look Once) model for images compared using ORB.

Tools Included

1. ORB Feature Matcher (orb_feature_matcher.py):

   • Command-line tool to match features between two images using ORB.
   • Saves an image with the top 50 matched features highlighted.

2. SSIM Visualizer (ssim_visualizer.py):

   • Command-line tool for calculating the SSIM score between two images and generating a similarity map.

3. Image Comparison App (image_comparison_app.py):

   • Tkinter-based GUI for comparing images using either SSIM or ORB.
   • Includes object detection using the YOLOv3 model.

4. OptiChrom App (optichrom_app.py):

   • Another GUI application for comparing images with support for SSIM and ORB comparison.
   • Detects objects using YOLOv3 in the compared images.
