Compare image to actual screen

Question

I\'d like to make my Java program compare the actual screen with a picture (screenshot).

I don\'t know if it\'s possible, but I have seen it in Jitbit (a macro recor

You can do this in two steps:

1. Create a screenshot using awt.Robot

   BufferedImage image = new Robot().createScreenCapture(new Rctangle(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize()));
   ImageIO.write(image, "png", new File("/screenshot.png"));
   

2. Compare the screenshots using something like that: How to check if two images are similar or not using openCV in java?
