JMagick automation using Eclipse(JAVA)

Question

I am trying to develop automation program to capture two images and then compare those images to see if they are similar or not.

I am using Windows 7 and Eclipse IDE (JAVA) with Selenium web-driver.

I have done my research and found JMagick would be the best fit for me but i have been unsuccessful making it work with eclipse. I have installed JMagick, ImageMagick and have added the local libraries to the eclipse.

The problem is that i can not find any guides or helpful links that can help me understand the following problems. How do i automate JMagick to take screenshot? How do i save those taken screenshots? And how do i compare those taken screenshots pixel by pixel? All of these using JMagick and at the end how do i display the diff image?

If anyone has any ideas or know of any guides please provide them! Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

can't post my code as it's kinda long and not allowing me to post.. — soocker1player, Dec 07 '12 at 16:59
Is it possible to just run the ImageMagick command from the java? Like how would i go about it if i wanted to run, "compare img1.png img2.png -compose src diff.png" Any help? — soocker1player, Dec 07 '12 at 17:03

Why don't you use OpenCV instead? JMagick is not enough documented. You have to look at the ImageMagick documentation.

However, if I were you, I would write a script to be called from your code.

To take a screenshot:

import -window root screen.jpeg

Also, to compare two images, you can read this guide

I hope this help you!
