Create a 'same art' field

[Sembiance]

Create a field to designate if a card has the same art as the card from another set (such as alpha, beta, unlimited, revised cards having almost all the same art). Best bet would be to take the crops, resize them to the same size, then compare them for similarity using something like puzzle-diff or some other computer vision code.

Can't use artist/card name of course because some sets have multiple basic lands or cards with the same name done by the same artist.

Would need an 'id' field for cards in order to point at which other card has the same art.

@Sembiance the rule "artist/card name" just can't be used for Basic Lands. (am I right? not 100% sure)
Every other card has a unique image. eg. There aren't two different cards with same art. So, you can use that rule and let only the Basic Lands to be evaluated by an algorithm. That said, I have and algorithm that can do that, I just need to have all images of the basic lands (not sure how many I have, but pretty sure I may have 99% of them).
What you say about this?
If you want I can give it some time to gather all basic lands, run it trough my algorithm and give you the output as a json file (in a specific format at your choice).

@jenjia That's a good point about not needing to check all art for all cards.

This particular issue is a very very low priority issue and I'm not currently looking to actively spend any time on it at the moment. Thanks for the offer to run it through your algo, however when the time comes to implement this, I'll probably look to implement the algorithm myself as A. That's part of the fun and B. Future cards I need to check as well and want to be self-sufficient in that regard.
