MBS( "GMImage.Hash"; ImageRef )   More

Parameters

Parameter Description Example
ImageRef The image reference number. 1

Result

Returns text or error.

Description

Calculates a hash of the image.
Hash is returned as 64 characters being 1 or 0.
We convert image to 8x8, turn grayscale and check if pixels are above or below mean value.
This hash is quite immune against resizing, compression artifacts and hue changes.
You can use Text.LevenshteinDistance or Text.JaroWinklerDistance to compare two hashes.

Examples

Play with hash function:

Set Variable [ $ImageRef ; Value: MBS("GMImage.NewFromContainer"; Test::BigImage) ]
Set Variable [ $Hash1 ; Value: MBS("GMImage.Hash"; $ImageRef) ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "GMImage.Flip"; $ImageRef ) ]
Set Variable [ $Hash2 ; Value: MBS("GMImage.Hash"; $ImageRef) ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "GMImage.Flop"; $ImageRef ) ]
Set Variable [ $Hash3 ; Value: MBS("GMImage.Hash"; $ImageRef) ]
Set Variable [ $Error ; Value: MBS("GMImage.Release"; $ImageRef) ]
Show Custom Dialog [ "Hash original: " & $hash1 & ¶ & "Hash after 1x mirror: " & $hash2 & ¶ & "Hash after 2x mirror: " &… ]
