Introducing Percy Visual Engine: A generational leap in image comparisons

What's this blog post about?

Percy has launched its new Visual Engine, an upgrade to their existing diffing algorithm. The engine uses computer vision and machine learning for visual diffs on the Percy platform, resulting in faster and more accurate image comparisons. Key features include Page Shift Detection, Diff Highlighter, handling anti-aliasing noise, and Intelligent Text Stabilization. These improvements significantly reduce noise and highlight only the most important changes. The new engine is also over 1.5X faster than before.
