Purpose

The module ImageHash computes the hash value of an input image.

Usage

The input source must be connected to a proper image source. The selected hashing and encoding algorithms are used to compute the hash.

Details

The hashes provided by this module are taken from a cryptography library. They are calculated from the binary representation of the image, independent of page size, where the voxels are ordered ascending in x, y, z, c, t, u dimensions resp. .

The main reason for using cryptographic hashes instead of the Checksum module is to have less probability for hash collisions.
