Project Links

DuMP3 uses the following technologies:

• log4j for logging
• Jacksum for MD hashes
• jConfig for configuration
• MySQL for the database
• SWT for the GUI
• JAI for additional image decoders
• JLayer MP3 library for MP3 decoding
• JOrbis for Ogg Vorbis decoding
• Tritonus for Java Sound links
• BMByteSearch.java for Boyer-Moore byte search - used for MP3 header finding
• Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne's bare bones FFT for Fast Fourier Transforms

Algorithm Links

DuMP3 implements the following algorithms (partialy, completely or with enhancements):

• Estimating rarity and similarity over Windowed data streams, Yossi Matias, Spring 2003
• Scalable Document Fingerprinting (Extended Abstract), Nevin Heintze, Oct. 1996
  
• Finding Similar Files in a Large File System, Udi Manber, Oct 1993
• An Extendible Hash for Multi-Precision Similarity Querying of Image Databases, S. Lin, M. T. Ozsu, V. Oria, R. Ng, 2001
• fdmf, Thomas Jarosch, Aug 2004

Other duplicate finders

Before writing DuMP3 I have tested the following duplicate finders (and found them lacking):

• WinMerge - (free) Can detect binary duplicates, but only displays text files.
• DeDupe - ($??.??) Finds only exact binary duplicates.
• NoClone - ($32.90) Finds only exact binary duplicates.
• Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder - ($24.95) Finds duplicate and similar images.
• DupDetector - (free) Finds duplicate and similar images.
• d'peg - ($29.00) The only duplicate finder I know of that detects duplicates of multiple media types. Certain comparisons are very slow.
