In its core, Deduper uses a variation of similar image detection algorithm described in H. Chi Wong, M. Bern and D. Goldberg, "An image signature for any kind of image," Proceedings. International Conference on Image Processing, 2002, pp. I-I, doi: 10.1109/ICIP.2002.1038047. +Deduper is still a work in progress.

It can scan for duplicate images and manage +the duplicates found afterwards. It also provides a "reverse image search" tool.
