Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder-Search For Images By Content
In our digital era shooting and editing digital photos is part of our daily life. Unfortunately we rarely keep a well organized database. We copy images to temporary locations in different formats that we needed at certain points of our work and forget to delete them. Searching for a photograph by its content was an impossible task for a computer so soon we are going out of storage. In such situations what comes extremely handy is a product developed by MindGems Inc.
I am going to introduce you here – Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder. Though a bit long, the name of the product describes it perfectly well. The product will find similar images regardless of the file name, format, image size and bit depth. Image processing is a heavy task and the performance achieved by this application is incredible. It manages to scan thousands of images in few minutes. I got also some information from the company about a new feature that will be available in the upcoming version. A photo search option. It will let you search for images by a sample. You will no longer have to search for your wedding photos. Do you remember that photo you mailed to John? Just load it in Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder and it will find the rest of the images for you. A very nice feature that will let you find the rest of the images from the set by loading a single sample.
Many professionals and also advanced photographers take images in RAW format. The quality of the RAW images is much better compared to JPEG, but the drawback is the size and the fact that very small amount of products supports it. The good news here is that Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder will provide also a RAW support soon for all the popular camera brands available on the market.
I must admit also the vast variety of image formats that it supports. Here is a complete list:
- JPEG Bitmap (*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.jpe)
- Compuserve Bitmap (*.gif)
- Portable Network Graphics (*.png)
- TIFF Bitmap (*.tif;*.tiff;*.fax;*.g3n;*.g3f)
- JPEG2000 Files (*.jp2)
- JPEG2000 Code Stream (*.j2k;*.jpc;*.j2c)
- Targa (*.tga;*.targa;*.vda;*.icb;*.vst;*.pix)
- Paintbrush (*.pcx)
- Windows Bitmap (*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle)
- Windows Metafile (*.wmf)
- Enhanced Windows Metafile (*.emf)
- Windows Icon (*.ico)
- Windows Cursor (*.cur)
- Wireless Bitmap (*.wbmp)
- Portable Pixmap (*.pxm;*.ppm)
- Adobe Photoshop (*.psd)
You can download a fully functional demo at the company web site – Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder.

Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder Compares Images by Content With a Dazzling Speed in the way a Human Does.
The product can find and delete similar and duplicate pictures in different file formats and dimensions based on content comparison. It is not only available as a desktop application, but is already integrated into online stock photography web stores that enable their users to find related images.
The innovative thing here is that in the past it was impossible for a machine to compare the content of two images in the way a person would do. For example it was impossible to detect similarities between two photographs of a person taken from a different angle using a computer. Besides supporting all the widespread image formats the application can detect similarities also between images with different sizes.
What is really interesting here is the speed that Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder achieves. Having in mind that image processing is an extremely heavy task the application manages to process thousands of images and gigabytes of data in just minutes. The desktop tool also provides functionality for deleting duplicate pictures and can mark them automatically using criteria set by the user – smallest size, biggest size, smallest dimensions and so on.

The corporate version of the product provides an interface via which it can be integrated into third party desktop and web systems.
A lot of products already use the tool in order to provide different features:
- detection of duplicate documents scanned on a scanner (the tool can detect similar documents even if they are skewed during the scan process)
- displaying a similar pictures section on a stock photography web sites and search for similar images based on a sample
- identification of a disease or an anomaly in medical software comparing an X-ray image with a database of images with different diseases and more.
These are only a part of the industries where such innovation comes extremely handy and solves issues that could not be handled in the past.

Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder is a powerful utility for finding similar and duplicate images in a folder and all its subfolders. It has the following features:
- Find all similar and duplicate images in a folder and all its subfolders using visual compare
- Find exact duplicate image files using CRC32 checksum
- Find rotated at 90°, 180°, 270°, flipped horizontal and/or vertical and graycaled duplicates
- User can adjust the percent of image similarity
- Smaller resolution duplicates can be automatically marked for deletion
- Smaller file size duplicates can be automatically marked for deletion
- Show preview for original and duplicate images
- User can select the images for deletion
- Duplicate images can be moved to Recycle Bin, custom folder or deleted
- Supports many image file formats
- Has intuitive interface and rich documentation
Supported file formats:
- JPEG Bitmap (*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.jpe)
- Compuserve Bitmap (*.gif)
- Portable Network Graphics (*.png)
- TIFF Bitmap (*.tif;*.tiff;*.fax;*.g3n;*.g3f)
- JPEG2000 Files (*.jp2)
- JPEG2000 Code Stream (*.j2k;*.jpc;*.j2c)
- Targa (*.tga;*.targa;*.vda;*.icb;*.vst;*.pix)
- Paintbrush (*.pcx)
- Windows Bitmap (*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle)
- Windows Metafile (*.wmf)
- Enhanced Windows Metafile (*.emf)
