Finding similar images in a directory

Question

What are good tools for windows for finding similar images (size and name varies) in a directory, and displaying them side by side, so I can choose which ones I wish to keep (deleting the other one) ?

See Duplicate images finder:

This application can search through your images collection and find duplicates not only by file name or size, but also by visual similarity.

You can use imagemagick to create a clickable image directory containing an arbitrary collection of images:

convert  'vid:photos/random/*_orig.*' vid_index.html

See this page for an example output. You could then open them side by side in firefox or an image editor.
