Compare images using sikuli in java

Question

im using sikuli-api 1.0.1 in java. The current problem is that I want to use the matching algo for a given image instead of a screen. The code which works is:

ScreenRegion s = new DesktopScreenRegion();
Target imageTarget = new ImageTarget(new File("someImage"));
ScreenRegion r = s.find(imageTarget);

Instead of using the ScreenRegion I would like to use a given image (File/BufferedImage). Any ideas how to do it? I dont want to click on the image etc. I just want to use sikulis algo to check if the target is inside the image.

Thanks in advance

Your best bet is to create your own ScreenRegion implementation. Replace DesktopScreenRegion by an ImageScreenRegion which implements ScreenRegion .

ScreenRegion interface is pretty limited in terms of external classes implementations. It seems you'll just have to implement an ImageScreen and an ImageScreenLocation (easy as pie)

Look at the SreenRegion sources
