Offline Reverse Image Search
Overview
This app finds duplicate to near duplicate images by generating a hash value for each image stored with a specialized data structure called VP-Tree which makes searching an image on a dataset of 100Ks almost instantanious
Online Examples
Online examples of this are Google images & TinEye which return near duplicate results from images they indexed across the web
App UI & example
On the left you can see the given image (for the example it's slightly different from the original) and on the right the result
Dependencies
