findimagedupes

findimagedupes finds similar and duplicate images.

This is written in Go and has no dependencies. This has a side effect that it is limited to GIF, JPEG, and PNG files for now, but it is very easy to install, with no ImageMagick or third-party libraries needed.

This code is a reimplementation of the algorithm used in findimagedupes, a Perl program written by Jonathan H N Chin (code@jhnc.org), which is itself a reimplementation of the algorithm used by findimagedupes by Rob Kudla.
