What's the use ?
You can use this program to find pictures having the same content,
even when they have different size.
Why PGM ?
This program can be used to create ID's for PGM-pictures.
You may ask yourself, why the the hell PGM and not jpeg, iff or png ?
Well, the first reason is that PGM has a very simple structure,
and the second is that for all important formats exist command-line
converters to PGM.
This program requires 256 Grayscale pictures in PGM to work,
those pictures start with P5 in the header and can easily created
for example from jpeg: djpeg -grayscale ...
This programm was written in about 4 hours and i know it's not very
clean, but it works (even fast).
How does it work ?
The program calculates the average over the whole picture, then splits
the picture into 64 pieces and calculates the average for each piece,
then depending on if the average from the piece is lower/equal
or higher to the total average it sets a bit in the id to 0 or 1.
64 pieces create 64 bits, this id will be printed as a 16 digits hex number.
Usually the ID remains the same if the picture is scaled.
You could use a script like the one included (setnote) to put the pictures id
in the filename, after that you could sort the files by the id and easily
remove double pictures. If you want to use pattern for selecting the pictures
just type: spat setnote Pictures/#?.jpg (for example).
Version history:
1.0 - initial announcement
1.1 - fixed a bug in the args parsing, increased the filename buffer
(thx to Jose Andias for the impulse to release this update)
1.2 - forgot to increase the loop count for the filename loop,
finally got the name correct PGM - Portable Gray Map .-)
