How to find an image within another image using python

Question

I\'m trying to use python to determine if one (small) image is within another (large) image.

Any suggestions before I take myself completely down the wrong path?

Answer 1

Sikuli does it using OpenCV, see here how match_by_template works and then use the Python OpenCV bindings to do the same. Doing it without OpenCV should be hard, take a look at OpenCV documentation, search for template matching, etc...
