Image comparison in java using RGB value

How to compare (RGB value) two images using java

This example helps you to compare two images (either jpeg or png) using pixel. first the program check whether two images are of equal breadth and width, then it compare each pixel by pixel and return the output. The program will check whether the two images given resembles each other or not. This is one of the simplest way and pixel based.


package image.analysis.comparison;

import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

/*
*  Image comparison done here is using pixels
*
*/

public class ImageComparison {
   
   
    public boolean compareTwoImages(File fileOne, File  fileTwo) {
        Boolean isTrue = true;
        try{
            Image imgOne = ImageIO.read(fileOne);
            Image imgTwo = ImageIO.read(fileTwo);
            BufferedImage bufImgOne = ImageIO.read(fileOne);
            BufferedImage bufImgTwo = ImageIO.read(fileTwo);
            int imgOneHt = bufImgOne.getHeight();
            int imgTwoHt = bufImgTwo.getHeight();
            int imgOneWt = bufImgOne.getWidth();
            int imgTwoWt = bufImgTwo.getWidth();
            if(imgOneHt!=imgTwoHt ||(imgOneWt!=imgTwoWt)){
                System.out.println(" size are not equal ");
                isTrue = false;
            }
            for(int x =0; x< imgOneHt; x++ ){
                for(int y =0; y <imgOneWt ; y++){
                    if(bufImgOne.getRGB(x, y) != bufImgTwo.getRGB(x, y) ){
                        System.out.println(" size are not equal ");
                        isTrue = false;
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
        }catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return isTrue;
    }
   
   
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       
        File f = new File("E:\\javaaptitude\\Oracle.jpeg");
        File f2 = new File("E:\\javaaptitude\\Capgemini.jpeg");
        ImageComparison imgComp = new ImageComparison();
        System.out.println(imgComp.compareTwoImages(f, f2));
       
    }
   

}

The above code is for image having same width and height, if the image height and width is different use this code

package Bluetick;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;


public class ImageComparison {
  
  
    public boolean compareTwoImages(File fileOne, File  fileTwo) {
        Boolean isTrue = true;
        try{
            Image imgOne = ImageIO.read(fileOne);
            Image imgTwo = ImageIO.read(fileTwo);
            BufferedImage bufImgOne = ImageIO.read(fileOne);
            BufferedImage bufImgTwo = ImageIO.read(fileTwo);
            int imgOneHt = bufImgOne.getHeight();
            int imgTwoHt = bufImgTwo.getHeight();
            int imgOneWt = bufImgOne.getWidth();
            int imgTwoWt = bufImgTwo.getWidth();
            if(imgOneHt!=imgTwoHt ||(imgOneWt!=imgTwoWt)){
                System.out.println(" size are not equal ");
                isTrue = false;
            }

            for(int x =0; x < imgOneWt; x++ ){ //replace the loop, if needed
                for(int y =0; y < imgOneHt ; y++){
                    if(bufImgOne.getRGB(x, y) != bufImgTwo.getRGB(x, y) ){
                        System.out.println(" rgb are not equal ");
                        isTrue = false;
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
        }catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return isTrue;
    }
  
  
    public static void main(String[] softwareEngineer) {
      
        File OracleJava = new File("C:\\Image\FingerPrint\analysis.jpg");
        File javaOracle = new File("C:\\Histogram\match\image.jpg");
        ImageComparison imgComp = new ImageComparison();
        System.out.println(imgComp.compareTwoImages( OracleJava , javaOracle));
      
    }
  

}

from comments :-

To work the above code for different dimensional images the for loop has to replaced.

Change the for loop to the following .... for(int x =0; x < imgOneWt; x++ ){ for(int y =0; y < imgOneHt ; y++){ if(bufImgOne.getRGB(x, y) != bufImgTwo.getRGB(x, y) ){ System.out.println(" size are not equal "); isTrue = false; break; } } }


Hope you had tried the above code. Read this for to know how to create a captcha image in java : java be lazy

Thanks all for your valuable feed backs,
