I doubt sha1 hashes are used for this. Those image hashes should match files regardless of orientation, cropping, resizing, re-compression, color correction etc. The collision could be far more frequent with these hashes.

The hash should ideally match even if you use photoshop to cut the one person out of the picture and put that person into a different photo. I'm not sure if that is possible, but that is what we want.
