Create image differential between two images



image-diff Build Status

Create image differential between two images

This was created as part of a visual regression project.

Example diff

Getting Started

Requirements

image-diff depends on ImageMagick.

Please install this before continuing.

Setup

Install the module with: npm install image-diff

var imageDiff = require('image-diff');
imageDiff({
  actualImage: 'checkerboard.png',
  expectedImage: 'white.png',
  diffImage: 'difference.png',
}, function (err, imagesAreSame) {
  // error will be any errors that occurred
  // imagesAreSame is a boolean whether the images were the same or not
  // diffImage will have an image which highlights differences
});

Documentation

image-diff exposes the function imageDiff as its export.

imageDiff(options, cb)

Create an differential image between multiple images

  • options Object
    • options.actualImage String - Path to actual image file
      • options.actualImage must exist
    • options.expectedImage String - Path to expected image file
      • If options.expectedImage does not exist, a transparent image with the same height/width will be created.
    • options.diffImage String - Optional path to output differential image
    • options.shadow Boolean - Optional flag to indicate if we should draw a shadow of the unchanged parts of the images
      • For example, if an image is + and we diff with -, then the image will have | be red but also contain a faded -
      • By default, this options is false meaning a shadow will not be drawn
  • cb Function - Error-first function to handle diff result
    • cb should have the signature function (err, imagesAreSame)
    • err Error|null - If there was an error in diffing, this will be it
    • imagesAreSame Boolean - Indicates that images are same or not

imageDiff.getFullResult(options, cb)

Same as imageDiff but yields a fuller result

  • options Object - See imageDiff#options
  • cb Function - Error-first function to handle diff result
    • cb should have the signature function (err, result)
    • err Error|null - If there was an error in diffing, this will be it
    • result Object
      • total Float - Root mean square pixel difference across all pixels
        • Value can range from 0 (no difference) to 655535 (every pixel is different)
      • percentage Float - Normalized total difference
        • Value can range from 0.00 (no difference) to 1.00 (every pixel is different)
      • More info here: http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17284

Example:

var imageDiff = require('image-diff');
imageDiff.getFullResult({
  actualImage: 'checkerboard.png',
  expectedImage: 'white.png',
  diffImage: 'difference.png',
}, function (err, result) {
  // result = {total: 46340.2, difference: 0.707107}
});

imageDiff.getRawResult(options, cb)

Same as imageDiff but yields raw CLI result

  • options Object - See imageDiff#options
  • cb Function - Error-first function to handle diff result

CLI usage

We offer an image-diff executable to diff from the CLI. When images match, its exit code will be 0. When they don't match, then it will be non-zero (e.g. 1).

$ image-diff --help

  Usage: image-diff [options] <actual-image> <expected-image> [diff-image]

  Options:

    -h, --help     output usage information
    -V, --version  output the version number
    --shadow       Draw a shadow of unchanges parts on diff image

Example usage:

# Images don't match
image-diff checkerboard.png white.png diff.png
echo $?
# 1
# We can look at `diff.png` for the diff result

# Images do match
image-diff checkerboard.png white.png
echo $?
# 0

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint via grunt and test via npm test.
