比较两个图像的最快方法

Question

I need to compare two images as fast as possible. I don't need to know the differences or anything else I just need to know if they are the same, yes/no, awesome. What is the fastest way to do this?

Thanks, R.

Answer 1

If they are expected to be the same, byte-by-bye like @NullUserException mentioned, the easiest solution is to use a hash like Md5. If you'd like to get more advanced, you can get the RGB values of each pixel in the first image and calculate the euclidean distance from the pixels in the second image checking to see if it's below some threshold. Everything is else is not fast :)
