An unsupervised and free tool for image and video dataset analysis founded by the authors of XGBoost, Apache TVM & Turi Create - Danny Bickson, Carlos Guestrin and Amir Alush.

pip install fastdup from PyPI:

pip install fastdup

More installation options are available here.

Initialize and run fastdup:

import fastdup

fd = fastdup.create(input_dir="IMAGE_FOLDER/")
fd.run()

Explore the results in a interactive web UI:

fd.explore()   

Alternatively, visualize the result in a static gallery:

fd.vis.duplicates_gallery()    # gallery of duplicates
fd.vis.outliers_gallery()      # gallery of outliers
fd.vis.component_gallery()     # gallery of connected components
fd.vis.stats_gallery()         # gallery of image statistics (e.g. blur, brightness, etc.)
fd.vis.similarity_gallery()    # gallery of similar images

fastdup handles labeled/unlabeled datasets in image or video format, providing a range of features:

What sets fastdup apart from other similar tools:

• Quality: High-quality analysis to identify duplicates/near-duplicates, outliers, mislabels, broken images, and low-quality images.
• Scale: Highly scalable, capable of processing 400M images on a single CPU machine. Scales up to billions of images.
• Speed: Optimized C engine enables high performance even on low-resource CPU machines.
• Privacy: Runs locally or on your cloud infrastructure. Your data stays where it is.
• Ease of use: Works on labeled or unlabeled datasets in image or video format with support for major operating systems like MacOS, Linux and Windows.

Learn the basics of fastdup through interactive examples. View the notebooks on GitHub or nbviewer. Even better, run them on Google Colab or Kaggle, for free.

	⚡ Quickstart: Learn how to install fastdup, load a dataset and analyze it for potential issues such as duplicates/near-duplicates, broken images, outliers, dark/bright/blurry images, and view visually similar image clusters. If you're new, start here! 📌 Dataset: Oxford-IIIT Pet.
	🧹 Finding and Removing Duplicates: Learn how to how to analyze an image dataset for duplicates and near-duplicates. 📌 Dataset: Oxford-IIIT Pet.
	🖼 Finding and Removing Mislabels: Learn how to analyze an image dataset for potential image mislabels and export the list of mislabeled images for further inspection. 📌 Dataset: Food-101.
	🎁 Image Similarity Search: Perform image search in a large dataset of images. 📌 Dataset: Shopee Product Matching.
	🤗 Hugging Face Datasets: Load and analyze datasets from Hugging Face Datasets. Perfect if you already have a dataset hosted on Hugging Face hub.
	🧠 TIMM Embeddings: Compute dataset embeddings using TIMM (PyTorch Image Models) and run fastdup over the them to surface dataset issues. Runs on CPU and GPU.
	🦖 ONNX Embeddings: Bring your own ONNX model. In this example we extract feature vectors of your images using DINOv2 model. Runs on CPU.
