A question (somewhat linux related, but not all the way.)

Ok,  I'm working on a project where I have a large number of images.  Some
of these are repeats of the same image, just scaled or compressed with jpg.
I would like to keep the highest quality of each image, and get rid of the
extras, but as it stands right now, the file names leave me no clue as to
which ones are duplicates.

So, here's the question.  Does anybody know of a software package to do
image comparisons looking for very similar images that might be different
pixel sizes but when scaled are the same image?  Or better yet, does anybody
know of a library that has the necessary functions to pull this off?
Perhaps the GIMP can do it?

If anybody has any ideas.  They are much appreciated.


Thanks,
Jeff
