Thank you for feedback I will look at it more closely and see what I can come up with. I did not know about the matplotlib comparison so I will see what they do. I did come across this the other day and wondered about down scaling. http://tech.jetsetter.com/2017/03/21/duplicate-image-detection/

I suspect this mechanism is too crude for what you want---videos often have small codec artifacts, and you want to be insensitive to those. E.g., you may not care much about introducing blocking / smudging, but very much about color changes. Or, since you are working with video, perhaps you only care about key-frames, or only about sliding window (over time) averages.

Feel free to give me a call sometime if you want to brainstorm ideas.

Best regards
