Image Similarity Comparison Web Application

This project is a web-based application that allows users to upload images and compare them to find the most visually similar ones based on a user-defined similarity threshold. The application utilizes a pre-trained VGG16 model to extract features from images and measures similarity using cosine similarity.

Features

  • Upload an input image and a set of comparison images.
  • Define a similarity threshold to control the sensitivity of the comparison.
  • Automatically identify and display the most similar images.
  • Option to retry with different images or threshold settings.
  • User-friendly interface with an impressive, creative design.

Technologies Used

  • Backend: Python, Flask, TensorFlow, VGG16, scikit-learn
  • Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap
  • Image Processing: PIL, NumPy

Usage

  • Upload Images: On the homepage, upload your primary image and a set of comparison images.
  • Set Similarity Threshold: Input the similarity threshold value at the start.
  • View Results: The application will process the images and display the ones that are most similar to the primary image.
  • Try Again: After viewing the results, you have the option to try with different images.

Practical Applications

  • E-commerce: Helps in recommending visually similar products to users.
  • Digital Asset Management: Assists in organizing and finding similar visual content from a large collection.
  • Creative Industry: Useful for artists and designers to find similar visual references.
