Compares each image with the next in a sequence and returns the
maximum bounding region of any pixel differences it discovers.
This method is available if Imagick has been compiled against ImageMagick version 6.2.9 or newer.
<?php
/* create new imagick object */
$im = new Imagick("test.gif");
/* optimize the image layers */
$result = $im->compareImageLayers(imagick::LAYERMETHOD_COALESCE);
/* work on the $result */
?>
