Abstract

See full text

A method for designating a given image as similar/dissimilar with respect to a reference image is provided. The method includes normalizing the image. Normalizing includes performing pre-processing and a lossy compression on the given image to obtain a lossy representation. The pre-processing includes at least one of cropping, fundamental extracting, gray scale converting and lower color bit converting. The method also includes comparing the lossy representation of the given image with a reference representation, which is a version of a reference spam image after the reference spam image has undergone a similar normalizing process as normalizing. The method further includes, if the lossy representation of the given image matches the reference representation, designating the given image similar to the reference image. The method yet also includes, if the lossy representation of the given image does not match the reference representation, designating the given image dissimilar to the reference image.
