Find Duplicate and Similar Images

Finds duplicates and similar images in a defined path. Set the image to search for similar images or the path for finding duplicates in main.py. hash_size of 8 means, the image will be resized to an 8x8 matrix. So, if you want to improve performance, you can try to increase the hash_size.
