Tweak scoring? #3

Closed rmenessec closed 6 years ago

rmenessec commented 7 years ago

I'm getting some very unlikely false positives, even after changing the matching to visual similarity only.

Is there a way to adjust the visual similarity matching? If not, would you mind adding this ability?

Thanks!

Due to the nature of the visual matching, there will be images which, to the user, are clear false positives. Yes, you can tweak the process and change thresholds but it'll always be a balance between limiting false positives and missing actual duplicates, and that tweaking is difficult enough that I think it'll just burden the user with non-obvious options.

Unless it's an actual bug or some weird corner case, of course. I'd have to see the image pair in question do determine that.

No response. Closing.
