So, I’m selfhosting immich, the issue is we tend to take a lot of pictures of the same scene/thing to later pick the best, and well, we can have 5~10 photos which are basically duplicates but not quite.
Some duplicate finding programs put those images at 95% or more similarity.

I’m wondering if there’s any way, probably at file system level, for the same images to be compressed together.
Maybe deduplication?
Have any of you guys handled a similar situation?

        Yeah. That’s what an MP4 does, but I was just saying that first you half to figure out which images are “close enough” to encode this way.

      Yeah. I understand. But first you have to cluster your images so you know which ones are similar and can then do the depulication. This would be a powerful way to do that. It’s just expensive compared to other clustering algorithms.
