Image Hasher

A library for getting perceptual hash values of images.

Thanks to Dr. Neal Krawetz for the outlines of the Mean (aHash), Gradient (dHash), and DCT (pHash) perceptual hash algorithms:
http://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/?/archives/432-Looks-Like-It.html (Accessed August 2014)

Also provides an implementation of the Blockhash.io algorithm.

This crate can operate directly on buffers from the PistonDevelopers/image crate.

This is fork of img_hash library, but with updated dependencies without any license changes.

Usage

Documentation

Add image_hasher to your Cargo.toml:

image_hasher = "1.1.0"

Example program:

 use image_hasher::{HasherConfig, HashAlg};

 fn main() {
     let image1 = image::open("image1.png").unwrap();
     let image2 = image::open("image2.png").unwrap();
     
     let hasher = HasherConfig::new().to_hasher();

     let hash1 = hasher.hash_image(&image1);
     let hash2 = hasher.hash_image(&image2);
     
     println!("Image1 hash: {}", hash1.to_base64());
     println!("Image2 hash: {}", hash2.to_base64());
     
     println!("Hamming Distance: {}", hash1.dist(&hash2));
 }

Benchmarking

In order to build and test on Rust stable, the benchmarks have to be placed behind a feature gate. If you have Rust nightly installed and want to run benchmarks, use the following command:

cargo +nightly bench
