How to use:
- Drag and drop the "Image Comparison" activity onto the workflow.
- Configure the properties by specifying the paths of the first and second images for comparison.
- Optionally, configure the delay based on your requirements.
- Execute the workflow to compare the specified images, and the matching percentage result will be stored in the output variable.
Example: Consider an example where the "Image Comparison" activity is used to compare two images:
Image Comparison:
First Image File: "C:\Images\Image1.png"
Second Image File: "C:\Images\Image2.png"
Result: matchingPercentage
In this example, the activity compares "Image1.png" and "Image2.png" and stores the matching percentage result in the string variable "matchingPercentage" for further use in the workflow.
