ImageSharpCompare

Compares images

Inspired by the image compare feature "Visual verification API" of TestApi this code supports comparing images by using a tolerance mask image. That tolerance mask image is a valid image by itself and can be manipulated.

ImageSharpCompare focus on os agnostic support and therefore depends on SixLabors.ImageSharp.

NOTE: Alpha-channel is ignored.

Example simple show cases

bool isEqual = ImageSharpCompare.ImagesAreEqual("actual.png", "expected.png");

// calcs MeanError, AbsoluteError, PixelErrorCount and PixelErrorPercentage
ICompareResult calcDiff = ImageSharpCompare.CalcDiff("actual.png", "expected.png");

Example show case allowing some tolerated diff

Imagine two images you want to compare, and want to accept the found difference as at state of allowed difference.

Reference Image

Actual Image

Tolerance mask image

CalcDiffMaskImage is used to calc a diff mask from an actual and a reference image

Example - Create difference image

using (var fileStreamDifferenceMask = File.Create("differenceMask.png"))
using (var maskImage = ImageSharpCompare.CalcDiffMaskImage(pathPic1, pathPic2))
    SixLabors.ImageSharp.ImageExtensions.SaveAsPng(maskImage, fileStreamDifferenceMask);

Example - Compare two images using the created difference image. Add white pixels to differenceMask.png where you want to allow difference.

var maskedDiff = ImageSharpCompare.CalcDiff(pathPic1, pathPic2, "differenceMask.png");
Assert.That(maskedDiff.AbsoluteError, Is.EqualTo(0));
