The Web service transforms an image into its frequency domain. The process involves three steps: 1) Load each image and store them; 2) Generate their signature using Fourier Transform (the images must have same size and same colour (grayscale transformation)); and 3) Compare their signature using Euclidean distance. The closer the distance is to zero, the more similar are the images (0 means the images are identical).
