Help I accidentally a wigglegram

# help i accidentally a wigglegram Source: [https://lmao.center/blog/wiggle-accidents/](https://lmao.center/blog/wiggle-accidents/) Do you know what a[wigglegram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiggle_stereoscopy)is? [](https://lmao.center/blog/wiggle-accidents/wg_sc2.gif)↳ c\. "suavecorn" on redditIt is a kind of stereo image you make by looping frames together, like as a GIF\. [](https://lmao.center/blog/wiggle-accidents/wg_hs1.gif)↳ c\. "aka\_hochstapler" on redditThe effect is quite convincing\. [](https://lmao.center/blog/wiggle-accidents/wg_sc1.gif)↳ c\. "suavecorn" on redditI am something of an indecisive photographer and when I like an angle I will take a lot of frames, from slightly different angles etc\., looking for "the shot"\. And since I am also a bit of a hoarder I never clear out my camera roll\. "Same shot from different angles"? You know what that sounds a bit familiar\. [](https://lmao.center/blog/wiggle-accidents/accident_raw.gif)↳ scrollin'Sure enough my phone is full of wigglegrams that I took by accident\. Years' worth, waiting for me to sit down and stitch them together\. Or, perhaps, for*something*to stitch them together\. It occurred to me last weekend that I can use[perceptual hashing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_hashing)\- what TinEye \(et al\.\) uses for reverse image search \- to try and find runs of similar images and pull them out from my library automatically\. So I wrote a little script to hash all my pictures: [](https://lmao.center/blog/wiggle-accidents/hashes.png)↳ slowly, slowlyHashing is quick but downloading photos from iCloud is not\. The result is a hash that \- unlike a cryptographic function like sha1 \- will share more bits with hashes of similar\-looking images than with dissimilar ones\. We can use that to calculate the hamming distance between pairs of images and find a threshold: [](https://lmao.center/blog/wiggle-accidents/hamming.png)↳ ten seems like a good boundaryAnd extract pairs: [](https://lmao.center/blog/wiggle-accidents/runs.png)↳ plausible\.\.\.And hundreds of wigglegrams spew forth\.

But most are true accidents\. As such many of them come out as less "stereoscopic" and more "kinescopic" \- like little unintentional movies\.
