2012-11-14 17:00:20 -0600 asked a question Image hashing implantation?

I know it is loaded question but what is the best way to hash a image so that similar images can be identified. Is there any implantation? I am looking for something that can detect minor modification to an image

One of the paper I found is: http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/77279/venkie00robust.pdf

[edit]

Maybe hashing is not a good word to use when trying to identify similar images. I want to be able to match two images with minor changes such as: resize, crop, texted added on image etc.

I want to generate string or number based of an image. Using the generated string or number, I want to compare how similar the images are.

Example:

temp.jpg  generates "abcdef123456789"
temp-crop.jpg generates  "abcdef12345678a"

Based on the generated strings, I can calculate how similar the images are. Maybe using Hamming Distance. Few differences in the string, it indicates minor changes in the images
