Image comparison software

I am in need of some software to pro-grammatically compare image files - in the repo i find ‘dupeguru’ … and it installs ok … requires python3 but that is installed … but when i go to run it i get this … as if there is a dependency issue … but the system does not alert so.

bin $ python3 dupeguru
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "dupeguru", line 81, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "dupeguru", line 66, in main
    from qt.app import DupeGuru

    from core.app import AppMode, DupeGuru as DupeGuruModel

ImportError: /usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/dupeguru/core/pe/_block.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: min

I have been searching now for a few days with this seemingly the only solution … but it will not run on my Desktop or Laptop (both with 15.2)

Can anybody help me either to sort out the issue with dupeguru and/or suggest and alternative for comparing two image files … regardless of the size or date stamp of the file?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi
What about fdupes, jdupes or diff?

Thanks for the reply.

Sure … fdupes does a great job … but my testing realised that it just compares file meta data … file name, time stamp, size etc … but i have a messy situation in which i have duplicated images with different file names, sizes and dates … and so need to compare/match the content somehow.

There is no ‘jdupes’ in my repo listings.

DIff? … i see i have diffutils installed … so will have a look there :slight_smile:

Hi
It’s in my testing repo…

I enabled 15.2 for you to test.

Malcolm … very decent of you!

Downloaded and installed … will look at it in the morning.

Thank you.

Okay … so jdupes does a great job, similar to fdupes!! Both seem to find dupes based on file type, size and date_stamp etc., but for image files which have had name changes, size changes and dates changed both dupe utilities fail to find them.

In the process however i have discovered imgdupes which compares the actual image irrespective of the file name, size or date_stamp, with some initial outstanding results: viz

http://zimpics.org/files/forum/suse/imgdupes_01.png

It found these three files which are of the very same subject but with different names, sizes and mod dates.

imgdupes can be found here:

… and here below is a brief intro:

INSTALL:

$ pip install imgdupes

USAGE:

$ imgdupes --recursive target_dir phash 4

Of course if the expected dupes have not had their file names, sizes or dates changed, then fdupes and/or jdupes would be the choice to use.

However (think genealogical sites) for various sized, named and dated image files this is exactly what i was looking for!! I am however perplexed as to why it took me 2 days to find it?? … and what search led me to the https://reposhub.com/ site … but AWTEW :slight_smile:

PS: For me i needed to install the “Python 3 Development” pattern using YAST and run the the pip installation under root for it to install successfully.
