@LyricalGarfield got hung up on a comic from September 28, 2001 and quite honestly I don't feel like going into full debug mode on why it was getting some negative values when calculating the panels and bombing out.

i just skipped it ahead a day and it seems happier again.

right now my brain is operating in #FreeCAD and #esp32 #arduino code so going back to the #openCV2 #python stuff would give me a stroke. not in the mood for that.

Hmm, since the image similarity comparison is done via Structural Similarity Index on greyscale versions of the images, it unfortunately also means that sometimes changes aren't picked up because the changed object actually already blends into the background when their saturation (I think?) is similar to that of the background...

Maybe I can get around this by doing the contour extraction on the individual colour channels, and then merging the contours?

Yay, I think I've made some significant progress on detecting the differences between two images with #opencv2, and extracting the contours to #SVG paths. :D

Now all that would be left is to merge the paths and the (bitmap) images into the template SVG I got. :)
