200<p>Use the <kbd>compare</kbd> program to mathematically and visually annotate the difference between an image and its reconstruction. See <a href="../www/command-line-processing.html">Command Line Processing</a> for advice on how to structure your <kbd>compare</kbd> command or see below for example usages of the command.</p>
201
202<div style="margin: auto;">
cristydcca3fa2010-12-29 21:50:07 +0000203 <h2><a id="usage"></a>Example Usage</h2>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000204</div>
205
206<p>We list a few examples of the <kbd>compare</kbd> command here to illustrate its usefulness and ease of use. To get started, lets compare an image to one thats been sharpened:</p>
207
208<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>convert rose.jpg -sharpen 0x1 reconstruct.jpg</span><span class='crtout'></span><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>compare rose.jpg reconstruct.jpg difference.png</span><span class='crtout'></span><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>compare -compose src rose.jpg reconstruct.jpg difference.png</span></p>
209<div class="image">
210<p>
211 <a href="../images/rose.jpg"><img src="../images/rose.jpg" width="70" height="46" alt="rose" /></a>
212 <a href="../images/reconstruct.jpg"><img src="../images/reconstruct.jpg" width="70" height="46" alt="rose" /></a>
213 <img style="margin:13px 0;" src="../images/right.gif" width="20" height="20" alt="==>" />
214 <a href="../images/difference.png"><img src="../images/difference.png" width="70" height="46" alt="rose" /></a>
215</p>
216</div>
217
218<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>
219
220<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>
221
222<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>compare -verbose -metric mae rose.jpg reconstruct.jpg difference.png</span><span class='crtout'>Image: rose.jpg <br/>
223 Channel distortion: MAE <br/>
224 red: 2282.91 (0.034835) <br/>
225 green: 1853.99 (0.0282901) <br/>
226 blue: 2008.67 (0.0306503) <br/>
227 all: 1536.39 (0.0234439) <br/></span></p><p>Or, if you just want the red channel distortion, use this command:</p>
228
229<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>compare -channel red -metric PSNR rose.jpg reconstruct.jpg difference.png</span><span class='crtout'>19.63</span></p>
230<p>Or, if you just want the overall image distortion, use this command:</p>
231
232<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>compare -metric PSNR rose.jpg reconstruct.jpg difference.png</span><span class='crtout'>28.31</span></p>
233<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>
234
