Beating a dead horse for my own satisfaction....

The original poster has a set of data which he submits to image
processing.  The OP might receive duplicate copies of the data set,
but does not want to process the duplicates.  The OP sought a way
to detect duplicate data.

Several utilities were suggested as solutions, including cmp(1),
diff(1), and something termed "XOR" which I'm not familiar with but
which I assume is some sort of CRC utility like sum(1) or md5(1).
Another poster suggested a motion detection application.

Several posters pointed out for image processing, many factors can
introduce changes in data that are not visually significant, and
hence a check for absolute equality would not have the result sought
by the OP.  The OP said this didn't matter, and is presumably
satisfied with the solutions at hand.

But suppose it did matter?  Suppose by theory or experiment we could
establish a threshold of difference between the data sets that would
enable us to process only the new sets with a meaningful probability
of the result being visually significant?

[Caveat:  I know nothing about image processing.]

The command cmp -l generates a list of the differing bytes in two
files.  For example, for these files:

% cat file1
How now brown cow.

% cat file2
Hoy not brown coi.
 
The command cmp -l produces:

% cmp -l file1 file2
 3 167 171
 7 167 164
17 167 151

If the count of differing bytes exceeds the pre-established threshold,
then process the data; otherwise, wait for the next batch of data.
