Hello 👋, I started exploring Rust a week ago due to more and more web services being written in Rust at my work place and so far I like the language, it’s simple, fast and beautiful. My day to day programming tasks are in Python, Go and Java. I’ve also used C# for some personal projects. Picking up Rust is not that easy for me since everything I write is web services or Java programs that don’t have “low-level” logic....
Hi 👋, In this article I would like to talk about image hashing. Image hashing algorithms are specialized hashing functions that output the hash of an image based on the image’s properties. Duplicate images output the same hash value and visually identical images output a hash value that is slightly different. To simplify hash("white_cat") = "aaaa" hash("brown_cat") = "aaba" hash("car") = "xkjwe" Some use cases for image hashing are: Duplicate Image Detection Anti-Impersonation / Image Stealing Image filtering Reverse image search Let’s play around with image hashing techniques using Python and the ImageHash library....
