+Image\PerceptualHash
+========
+
+## NAME
+
+Image\PerceptualHash - Generate comparable hash from images
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+
+```php
+<?php
+use Image\PerceptualHash;
+use Image\PerceptualHash\Algorithm\DifferenceHash;
+use Image\PerceptualHash\Algorithm\PerceptionHash;
+
+// Create an instance of Image\PerceptualHash, at the same time calculate hashes
+// using hashing algorithm Image\PerceptualHash\Algorithm\AverageHash by default
+$ph = new PerceptualHash('/path/to/foo.jpg');
+
+// Get binary hash
+$binary_hash = $ph->bin();
+
+// Get hexadecimal hash
+$hex_hash = $ph->hex();
+
+// Compare with another image, return a Hamming distance
+$distance = $ph->compare('/path/to/bar.jpg');
+
+// Calculate a similarity
+$similarity = $ph->similarity('/path/to/baz.jpg');
+
+// Calculate by other hashing algorithms
+$ph = new PerceptualHash('/path/to/foo.jpg', new DifferenceHash());
+// or
+$ph = new PerceptualHash('/path/to/foo.jpg', new PerceptionHash());
+```
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+Image\PerceptualHash generates distinct, but not unique fingerprint with three hashing algorithms. Unlike cryptographic hashing, these fingerprints from similar images will be also similar.
+
+## INSTALLATION
+
+To install this package into your project via composer, add the following snippet to your `composer.json`. Then run `composer install`.
+
+```
+"require": {
+    "travail/image-perceptualhash": "dev-master"
+}
+```
+
+or
+
+```
+"repositories": {
+    {
+        "type": "vcs",
+        "url": "git@github.com:travail/php-Image-PerceptualHash.git"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## DEPENDENCIES
+
+* ext-gd
+
+## METHODS
+
+### `public __construct($file, Algorithm $algorithm)`
+
+Creates a new instance of Image\PerceptualHash and calculates hashes.
+
+#### $file
+
+Path to a file or a resource of that.
+
+#### Algorithm $algorithm
+
+Hashing algorithm, currently the following algorithm are available:
+
+* AverageHash
+* DifferenceHash
+* PerceptionHash
+
+### `public bin()`
+
+Returns calculated binary hash.
+
+### `public hex()`
+
+Returns calculated hexadecimal hash.
+
+### `public compare(mixed $file)`
+
+Compares with another image and returns the Hamming distance to that.
+
+#### $file
+
+Path to a file or a resource of that.
+
+### `public similarity(mixed $file)`
+
+Calcuates the simiralrity to another image.
+
+#### $file
+
+Path to a file or a resource of that.
