Can KAZE/AKAZE be used in in image databases for finding possible duplicates?
Because I would like to add that to https://github.com/hydrusnetwork/hydrus in order to enhance the image deduplication and sourcing capabilities

Hi, I run into this error while trying your code in Jupyter. Here is the error. Kindly help. Thanks!

UnicodeDecodeError Traceback (most recent call last)

322 # keep undecoded input until the next call
323 self.buffer = data[consumed:]

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x80 in position 0: invalid start byte

I am running this code to extract the features of word written in hindi using Spyder but it is showing me the error:

File "G:/devanagari_ocr-master/honey/code.py", line 50, in batch_extractor
pickle.dump(result, fp)

TypeError: write() argument must be str, not bytes

Please resolve this asap
