The first release of Blink Comparison has occurred, an application for Android 5.0+ that simplifies the comparison of anti-tampering seal photos with the naked eye. The program is written in Dart, utilizes the Flutter framework for building the user interface, and is distributed under the GPLv3 license. The build has been created and published on F-Droid and Google Play. Support for additional platforms (Linux, iOS) is planned.
The concept of the 'Blink Comparison' method is simple — the application allows users to quickly toggle between images without delay to see differences. The method is applied in astronomy and utilizes highly effective image and pattern recognition by the human eye to provide a quick verification between a reference image and a real photo taken on-site. For example, to detect breaches in high-contrast seals based on nail polish used for anti-tampering protection.
Implemented features:
- The ability to add and store reference images in the application, as well as to create on-site photos; all images are encrypted, making theft or replacement difficult.
- Support for comparing the reference image with one just taken using the 'blink comparison' method.
- Helps ensure that the compared photo is taken in the correct position, angle, lighting, and distance.
- Material Design.
- Night mode.
- Adaptive interface for various device form factors.
