A pHash is a "perceptual hash" of a multimedia file derived from various features from its content. This can be useful to compare similar files, create database indices and so on.
Note: Currently supports only images - no video or audio.
$ npm install phash
var pHash = require("phash");
pHash.imageHash("file.jpg", function(err, hash) {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
}
console.log("pHash: " + hash);
});
var hashA = pHash.imageHashSync("a.jpg");
var hashB = pHash.imageHashSync("b.png");
var hammingAB = pHash.hammingDistance(hashA, hashB);
console.log("Hamming Distance A -> B: " + hammingAB);Computes a pHash asynchronously.
imageHash(filename, function(err, hash));Computes a pHash.
var hash = imageHashSync(filename);Computes the Hamming distance between the two pHashes.
hammingDistance(hashA, hashB);
