  52. <p class="lead magick-description">Use the <code>compare</code> program to mathematically and visually annotate the difference between an image and its reconstruction. See <a href="command-line-processing.php">Command Line Processing</a> for advice on how to structure your <code>compare</code> command or see below for example usages of the command.</p>
  53. <h2 class="magick-header"><a id="usage"></a>Example Usage</h2>
  54. <p>We list a few examples of the <code>compare</code> command here to illustrate its usefulness and ease of use. To get started, lets compare an image to one thats been sharpened:</p>
  55. <pre>
  56. convert rose.jpg -sharpen 0x1 reconstruct.jpg
  57. compare rose.jpg reconstruct.jpg difference.png
  58. compare -compose src rose.jpg reconstruct.jpg difference.png
  59. </pre>
  60. <ul>
  61. <a href="../image/rose.jpg"><img src="../image/rose.jpg" width="70" height="46" alt="rose" /></a>
  62. <a href="../image/reconstruct.jpg"><img src="../image/reconstruct.jpg" width="70" height="46" alt="rose" /></a>
  63. <img style="margin:13px 0;" src="../image/right.gif" width="20" height="20" alt="==>" />
  64. <a href="../image/difference.png"><img src="../image/difference.png" width="70" height="46" alt="rose" /></a>
  65. </ul>
  66. <p>The red areas of the difference image emphasizes (highlight) pixels that are affected by the image sharpening, whereas white de-emphasizes (lowlight) pixels that are untouched by the sharpening process.</p>
  67. <p>In addition to the visual interpretation of the difference in an image and its reconstruction, we report a mathematical measure of the difference:</p>
  68. <pre>
  69. -> compare -verbose -metric mae rose.jpg reconstruct.jpg difference.png
  70. Image: rose.jpg
  71. Channel distortion: MAE
  72. red: 2282.91 (0.034835)
  73. green: 1853.99 (0.0282901)
  74. blue: 2008.67 (0.0306503)
  75. all: 1536.39 (0.0234439)
  76. </pre>
  77. <p>Or, if you just want the red channel distortion, use this command:</p>
  78. <pre>
  79. -> compare -channel red -metric PSNR rose.jpg reconstruct.jpg difference.png
  80. 19.63
  81. </pre>
  82. <p>Or, if you just want the overall image distortion, use this command:</p>
  83. <pre>
  84. -> compare -metric PSNR rose.jpg reconstruct.jpg difference.png
  85. 28.31
  86. </pre>
  87. <p>If the reconstructed image is a subimage of the image, the compare program returns the best match offset. In addition, it returns a similarity image such that an exact match location is completely white and if none of the pixels match, black, otherwise some gray level in-between:</p>
  88. <pre>
  89. -> compare -metric RMSE -subimage-search logo.png wizard.jpg similarity.gif
  90. 85.05 (0.00129778) @ 353,157
  91. </pre>
  92. <p>You can find additional examples of using <code>compare</code> in <a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-graf/?ca=dnt-428">Graphics from the Command Line</a>. Further discussion is available in <a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-graf2/?ca=dgr-lnxw15GraphicsLine">More Graphics from the Command Line</a> and <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/">Examples of ImageMagick Usage</a>.</p>
  93. <p>The compare program returns 2 on error otherwise 0 if the images are similar or 1 if they are dissimilar.</p>
  94. <h2 class="magick-header"><a id="options"></a>Option Summary</h2>
  95. <p>The <code>compare</code> command recognizes these options. Click on an option to get more details about how that option works.</p>
