pHash

Interface to pHash.

Installation

gem install pHash

You can specify path to pHash library explicitly using environment variable like PHASH_LIB=/opt/local/lib/libpHash.dylib.

There are two problems with official version 0.9.6 of pHash. Both are fixed in a fork of pHash.

• Audio hash functions are not compiled with C linkage - you will get FFI::NotFoundError when comparing audio files. Patch.

• Video hash functions are not compatible with latest ffmpeg changes - they will cause Segmentation Fault as explained in Segmentation Fault error when trying to compare two videos with pHash library and its ruby bindings. Patch.

Dependencies

• pHash
• ffi ~> 1.0

Usage

Compare two mp3s:

require 'phash/audio'

a = Phash::Audio.new('first.mp3')
b = Phash::Audio.new('second.mp3')
a.similarity(b)

or just

a % b

Get bunch of comparators and work with them:

audios = Phash::Audio.for_paths(Dir['**/*.{mp3,wav}'])
audios.combination(2) do |a, b|
  similarity = a % b
  # work with similarity
end

Videos:

require 'phash/video'

Phash::Video.new('first.mp4') % Phash::Video.new('second.mp4')

Images:

require 'phash/image'

Phash::Image.new('first.jpg') % Phash::Image.new('second.png')

Texts:

require 'phash/text'

Phash::Text.new('first.txt') % Phash::Text.new('second.txt')
