Duplicated Photo Finder

Find, browse and manually remove similare photos in a folder.

Note for now it is assumed that the filenames follow chronological order, and the algorithm only checks whether adjacent photos are similar.

Platforms tested

Linux(Ubuntu 14.04), OS X

Prerequisites

• SciPy
  • pip install scipy
• OpenCV for Python (both opencv and opencv_contrib are needed)
  • Install on Linux(Ubuntu)
  • Install on OSX
• python-opencv package
  • sudo apt-get install python-opencv
• Python Image Library
  • Install on Linux(Ubuntu): sudo apt-get install python-imaging-tk
  • Install on OS X: sudo easy_install pip;sudo pip install pillow
• Send2Trash -- Send files to trash on all platforms

Execution

Run python main.py under command line environment.

Known issues

1. Randomness in K-means algorithm would make distance of same pair of photos different for each run.
2. Rotated photos would be displayed in original shape.
