Image Similarity compares two images and returns a value that tells you how visually similar they are. The lower the the score, the more contextually similar the two images are with a score of '0' being identical. Sifting through datasets looking for duplicates or finding a visually similar set of images can be painful - so let computer vision do it for you with this API.

The image similarity API processes two images and outputs a distance the two images are from each other. The distance value lets you know how visually similar the two images are - a score of ‘0’ being identical.
Going through image datasets to find duplicates is painful. Let the image similarity algorithm do it for you! With the distance value, you can figure out the change in two images after a period of time or discover duplicates in your user data.
The API returns a value that tells you how visually similar two images are. With this, you can find duplicates in a dataset, group similar images, or add image similarity search to your applications.
Messy datasets are the bane of many a person’s existence, and cleaning out duplicates is a painful process. With the Image Similarity API you can compare images in your dataset and delete or group the images that are too similar to you liking.
Have a picture of something and want to see if you have visually similar images? Using this deep learning model, you can see if there are any contexually similar matches in your media library or user data. Find the images with the lowest distance values, and group them as ‘similar’.
Sometimes it can be hard to see changes in a project you’re working on or monitoring. It’s easy to find the difference between images from before and after.
