Re: Comparing two images



qtjava has the following api:
quicktime.std.image.QTImage

public static final float getSimilarity(QDGraphics src,
QDRect srcRect,
ImageDescription desc,
EncodedImage data)
throws StdQTException,
QDException
Compares a compressed image to a picture stored in a pixel map and returns a value indicating the relative similarity of the two images.


 QuickTime::GetSimilarity


Parameters:
src - a QDGraphics that contains a PixMap object containing a noncompressed image.
srcRect - a QDRect defining the portion of the source image to compare to the compressed image
desc - an ImageDescription object that defines the compressed image
data - an EncodedImage object that contains the compressed image data
Returns:
the relative similarity value

Hi, all.

A friend just asked how one would scan approximately 40k images for duplicates.. Anyone able to recommend a Java toolkit for same that works with reasonable speed on the Mac?

This is a terribly complicated problem to do right, but I wanted to try an "off the cuff" fast solution first. Something perhaps a bit more clever than a straight checksum of the image data, like a color histogram. This would let us decide whether something smart that actually analyzes the images is a good idea.
