Expandex is a Python library designed to find images similar to a given source image. It utilizes online image searches, feature extraction, and image deduplication to retrieve unique and usable images.
You can install Expandex via pip:
pip install expandex
from expandex import Locator
# Initialize Locator object
locator = Locator()
# Scout for similar images
similar_images = locator.scout('path_to_source_image.jpg')
# Display similar images
for image_url in similar_images:
print(image_url)
- Feature Extraction: Employs feature extraction techniques to analyze and compare image features.
- Image Deduplication: Prevents the retrieval of duplicate images to ensure diversity in search results.
- Multi-threaded Processing: Utilizes multi-threading to enhance performance and speed up the image retrieval process.
You can configure Expandex by specifying parameters such as save folder location, deduplication method, and weights for similarity metrics.
# Example Configuration
locator = Locator(
save_folder='images',
deduplicate='cpu',
weights={
'ih': 0.1, # Image Hash similarity
'ssim': 0.15, # Structural similarity index measurement
'cs': 0.1, # NumPy cosine similarity
'cnn': 0.15, # EfficientNet feature extraction
'dedup': 0.1 # Mobilenet cosine similarities
},
debug=True
