问:
I'm trying to compare two UIImages from the file system to see if they are the same. Obviously, I can't use NSObject's hash method, since this returns a hash of the object, and not the actual image data.
I found code generate an MD5 hash from a string, but I haven't discovered how to implement it for a UIImage.
How should I go about hashing a UIImage? Or is my method for comparing to images totally off?
回答:
I wound up using the following code to accomplish the task.
Note that this requires that you import<CommonCrypto/CommonDigest.h>
:
unsigned char result[16];
NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithData:UIImagePNGRepresentation(inImage)];
CC_MD5(imageData, [imageData length], result);
NSString *imageHash = [NSString stringWithFormat:
@"%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X",
result[0], result[1], result[2], result[3],
result[4], result[5], result[6], result[7],
result[8], result[9], result[10], result[11],
result[12], result[13], result[14], result[15]
];
