uniquorn, it occured to me that you can use code to highlight differences (or similarities) between images
This needs work, but it could be a way of automating this
from skimage.metrics import structural_similarity as compare_ssim
import argparse
import imutils
import cv2
imageA = cv2.imread('1.jpg')
imageB = cv2.imread('2.jpg')
grayA = cv2.cvtColor(imageA, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
grayB = cv2.cvtColor(imageB, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
(score, diff) = compare_ssim(grayA, grayB, full=True)
diff = (diff * 255).astype("uint8")
print("SSIM: {}".format(score))
thresh = cv2.threshold(diff, 0, 255,
cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV | cv2.THRESH_OTSU)[1]
cnts = cv2.findContours(thresh.copy(), cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL,
cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
cnts = imutils.grab_contours(cnts)
for c in cnts:
# compute the bounding box of the contour and then draw the
# bounding box on both input images to represent where the two
# images differ
(x, y, w, h) = cv2.boundingRect(c)
cv2.rectangle(imageA, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), (0, 0, 255), 2)
cv2.rectangle(imageB, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), (0, 0, 255), 2)
# show the output images
cv2.imshow("Original", imageA)
cv2.imshow("Modified", imageB)
cv2.imshow("Diff", diff)
cv2.imshow("Thresh", thresh)
cv2.waitKey(0)
