imagededup Supporting image compression?

Hey!

I believe most duplicates are created through compression. For example, if I upload an image to a different service, I re-download it. It's usually compressed, and its metadata may have changed. I have many duplicates from various platforms like Google, Facebook, etc.

I haven't seen anything in the documentation about how this repository handles compression. Will it be able to recognize duplicate images with various levels of compression?

Thanks!

Haven't explicitly tested it, but compression shouldn't be too much of a trouble, especially for CNN method. Maybe you could give it a go on a small hand-picked collection of compressed images to see the results?

It just hasn't worked with other deep-learning apps I tried, so I figured I'd ask before trying.

Would be great if you could share some of your results.

@PetrochukM Did you manage to give it a go?

I didn't, I'm sorry, I managed to find a collection of other software packages that worked out of the box, instead.

@PetrochukM So, this package didn't work for you? Also, could you share which software packages you ended up using?
