This was in 2002 and I used Python with the PIL module.
It didn't really take all that long, less than a day for the whole project. Probably 2-3 hours of run time on my desktop.
I wasn't actually doing anything but identifying the bad images so I wasn't pounding the disk with alternating reads/writes.
- blasdel 16y agoPIL is fucking amazing, I've never seen anything like it for any other language. Last year I used it to write a computer vision utility for doing black-box UI testing on embedded medical devices, and I can't imagine having used anything else. Right now I'm fighting RMagick on another project, I would have set the building on fire if I'd had to deal with it's bullshit on the CV project. It links directly with libjpeg, libpng, etc. instead of via some imagemagick bullshit. Instead of being fucked if what you want to do doesn't line up with an existing magick command, it gives you the tools to do it yourself, and even pretty performantly since it can give you numpy arrays.
