Description

Hi, Davis! First of all thank You for a nice job! I'm interested in developing the python direction of Dlib. Therefore, I have the following request. Could You implement a python binding for working with DLib algorithms of Locality-sensitive hashing? First of all, the hash_samples algorithm.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the existing hash samples C++ implementation in Dlib and study how other Python bindings are structured using pybind11. Create a wrapper function that exposes the locality sensitive hashing algorithm to Python, ensuring compatibility with numpy arrays.
