compare: Compare 2 images.
$ compare ${image1-png} ${image2-png} ${diff-png}

This command is using a tool or program to compare two PNG images, image1.png and image2.png, and generate a difference image called diff.png.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • compare: This is the command or tool being used for image comparison.
  • ${image1.png}: This parameter represents the first image file (image1.png), which will be compared with the second image.
  • ${image2.png}: This parameter represents the second image file (image2.png), which will be compared with the first image.
  • ${diff.png}: This parameter represents the output file name of the difference image that will be generated during the comparison. This image will visually represent the differences between the two input images.

The exact behavior and options of the compare tool may vary depending on the specific software or programming language being used.
