How to determine if a photo is corrupted?

Question

I have a requirement where in I have to determine whether a photo is corrupted and accordingly tag it as such.

Another thing, I need is to determine if an Image has

Answer 1

I have handled this situation by reading the suspicious image and trying to getting its shape. The task is done within try-except block. Following is the code:

import cv2

image = cv2.imread('./image.jpg')

try:
    dummy = image.shape # this line will throw the exception
except:
    print("[INFO] Image is not available or corrupted.")

This approach should cover all your needs like:

• Detecting a corrupted image
• Non-image file with an image-type extension detection
• Missing image detection etc.
