How to compare 2 images for similarity?
Hi All,
I have 100000 tiff images in a folder. There are many duplicate images with different names. I want to compare images for duplication.
Could somebody help me in that?
I heard that there are utilities to compare in binary form...

Ah. Not my strong point at all. I've not done Java.
But getting this script running on windows would take around 2 minutes.
Maybe creating a pointer question in the Java section to this one would be of use.
Watch out for anyone saying you have to compare every file with every other file.
You don't.
The md5 hash is good enough to determine similarity.
So you only need to pass through the files once.

Yes. I agree that an md5 would only provide a match where the BINARY is identical. It would NOT make any allowance for the content of the image.
