Phashion replacement without native extension (however it currently relies on libvips). Compatible with pHash 0.9.6.

• libvips (see requirements for ruby-vips)
• Ruby 3.0.0 or later

bundle add phash-rb

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

gem install phash-rb

If you're using Phashion replace Phashion::Image with Phash::Image.

Public interface is the same as Phashion::Image.

require 'phash'

img1 = Phash::Image.new(filename1)
img2 = Phash::Image.new(filename2)
img1.duplicate?(img2) # true

Optionally, you can set the minimum Hamming distance in the second argument, an options Hash:

img1.duplicate?(img2, threshold: 5) # true

img1.duplicate?(img2, threshold: 0) # false

We also support the fingerprint method for storing Phash fingerprints in the database.

require 'phash'

Phash::Image.new(filename1).fingerprint # 3714852948054213970

Fingerprint is also available in a command phash:

$ phash test/fixtures/test.jpg
3714852948054213970

Additionally you can pass Vips::Image directly to fingerprint function:

image.class # Vips::Image
Phash::Image.new(image).fingerprint # 3714852948054213970
