This package is a wrapper of Image Comparator package adapted to use with Laravel via Facade. All methods of Image Comparator are available in the Facade. For the method reference visit the wiki

Prerequisites

• php 8.1 or higher
• Laravel 8 or higher
• Gd extension enabled

Installation

You can install the package using Composer: composer require sapientpro/image-comparator-laravel

Usage

You can start using the Image Comparator Facade by including it in your class:

use SapientPro\ImageComparatorLaravel\Facades\Comparator;

$imageHash = Comparator::hashImage('path_to_image.jpg')

By default, the average hashing algorithm is user for hashing and comparing images. If you want to use difference hashing algorithm, you set it with setHashStrategy() function:

use SapientPro\ImageComparatorLaravel\Facades\Comparator;
use SapientPro\ImageComparator\Strategy\DifferenceHashStrategy;

Comparator::setHashStrategy(new DifferenceHashStrategy());

$similarity = Comparator::compare('path_to_image1.jpg', 'path_to_image2.jpg') // will use difference hash algorithm
