The microservice that powers Quotient's image text extraction & image duplicacy detection needs.

What it does?

If put simply, In response to an HTTP request containing an array of Image URLs, the API performs the following:

  • Make those images sharper, remove colors, etc., and then extract whatever text they contain.
  • Generate a Perceptual & Difference hash for the images.

In response to a valid HTTP Post request, a similar response to the following example is expected.
