duplicate image detection utilities

Here are a couple of programs that I find useful for making a
first pass at detecting duplicate images. The first program is
a PBM+ tool called pnmsig which computes a simple hash function for
a PBM, PGM or PPM file. For PBM files, the value is the number of
black bits, for PGM files it is the sum of all the gray levels in
the image and for PPM files it is the sum of each R, G and B
component of each pixel. The value computed is fairly arbitrary,
but at least the PBM sum is not changed by adding or deleting
whitespace; this is nice for cropped macpaint images. The PPM
sum doesn't depend on a particular colourmap which makes finding GIF
duplicates a little easier.
The second program is a perl script (sigcheck) which reads in lists of
signatures and reports duplicates. I have a master list of image
names and signatures. When I get some more images, I can do a quick
check for duplicates like so:
foreach f (*.gif)
echo -n $f ' ' >>SIG
giftoppm $f | pnmsig >>SIG
end
sigcheck MASTERLIST SIG
Thrillsville, huh? Now, if only ftp sites with images would adopt these
programs we could save a lot of useless image grabbing.....

# it by saving it into a file and typing "sh file". To overwrite existing
# files, type "sh file -c". You can also feed this as standard input via
# unshar, or by typing "sh <file", e.g.. If this archive is complete, you
# will see the following message at the end:
