Image Hashing powered by Rust

This package is a thin wrapper that contains Python bindings for the Rust crate imghash-rs that allows you to generate various image hashes. the following hashes are supported:

• Average Hash
• Difference Hash
• Perceptual Hash

If you want to know more about the different hashes or how they get encoded / decoded, check the documentation of imghash-rs.

Getting Started

To get started add the package to your project:

pip install imghash-rs

Then you can use it by importing the different functions:

from imghash import average_hash, difference_hash, perceptual_hash

ahash = average_hash("path/to/image")

print(ahash.encode()) # will return the hash encoded as string
print(ahash.matrix()) # will return a 2D list of bools that are the encoded bits

To learn more about the underlying bit matrix that gets generated, check this document.
