picunic

Searches for similar image files in given paths. Based on a mean hashing.

Tricks

# Help yourself
$ picunic -h

# Will open sxiv in thumbnail mode, showing all pictures in group at once.
$ picunic -T /path -c "sxiv -t"

# Print all groups to file, one group per line. Save output log in separate file.
$ picunic -T /path -c "echo" 1>/list.txt 2>/file.log

TODO

• Custom application start for group of similar files
• dHash variant (alternative or second pass)
• Precise second pass
• Different backends aside from GraphicsMagick (Imagemagick, ccv, libvips etc)
• Memory sanity check
• Content-aware files reading (i.e. do not rely on file name) via libmagic
• Multithreaded parsing
• Visualize progress

Requirements

• POSIX (cygwin will do too)

• C compiler

• GNU Make

• Optional:

  • GraphicsMagick headers and library
