- Image signatures have been re-implemented as perceptual hashes from the OpenImageR package. These are faster and more reliable than the previous image colour bands. (#25)
- The compare_images Shiny app has been re-purposed to be a more flexible, general-purpose image comparison tool. confirm_changes takes the place of the old compare_images in the main image matching workflow.
- remove_black_bars has been rewritten in C++ to be much faster, and now is a generic, with methods for
matchr_image
vectors, pixel arrays, or lists of pixel arrays. - find_duplicates has been broken out as a standalone function that identifies pairwise duplicates in a table of image matches. The internals have been rewritten in C++ and are now approximately 15x as fast.
- TKTK bug fixes
- Added a
NEWS.md
file to track changes to the package.
