How is an image file stored in java and/or .NET??

Question

needed for image comparisns for bitwise/ pixel-by-pixel comparisn

Answer 1

Bitwise comparisons of the in-memory representations will be difficult, and maybe not especially meaningful. Pixel by pixel comparisons should be possible, however.

.Net uses the classes inheriting from Image to load and store image data during a run of a managed assembly. Of particular interest will be the Bitmap class, which lets you get information on a pixel-by-pixel basis through the GetPixel method. Java is similar. You'll want to look at the BufferedImage class, and the getRGB methods.

Good luck!
