Differences using ImageHash Class and MySQL DB comparision

[Ahnungsloser]

I've got three test images ..
ImageHash gives following hashes ..

Image 1: 0405794952704d4a
Image 2: 0405714972704d48
Image 3: 0445714972704d4a

Distances in ImageHash are always 3 using example:

use Jenssegers\ImageHash\ImageHash;
use Jenssegers\ImageHash\Implementations\DifferenceHash ;

$hasher = new ImageHash(new DifferenceHash());
$distance = $hasher->distance($hash1, $hash2); // = 3
$distance = $hasher->distance($hash1, $hash3); // = 3

If the hashes are inserted into MySQL DB in column "hash" ( data type varchar() ) ...

SELECT images.*, BIT_COUNT('0405794952704d4a' ^ hash) as hamming_distance
FROM images
HAVING hamming_distance < 50

Distances are as followed ..

Image 1: 0405794952704d4a -> 0
Image 2: 0405714972704d48 -> 12
Image 3: 0445714972704d4a -> 21

I am expecting hamming distance of 3 like using the ImageHash DifferenceHash() Class.
Where is my fault?

your issue solved ? i am having same issue

okae i fixed this issue :)

1. create a new column in your database name it hexdec or anything you want.. set type as bigint and attributes unsigned.
2. now convert your hash column values to hexdec using this function

<?php 
 $hash_format = "1d1f094b99d97933";
 $hexdec_format = hexdec($hash_format);
?>

3. after updating hexdec column you can run this query
   SELECT images.*, BIT_COUNT(2098406171686304051^ hexdec) as hamming_distance FROM images HAVING hamming_distance < 30 ORDER BY hamming_distance ASC LIMIT 10
