Comparing Images - Custom application build

Hello,
Not sure if this is the right place to post a question like this, if not I apologize.
I am interested in paying for the development of an application that takes a portion of a screen capture and compares it against a stored image to determine if any change has taken place. The 'change' parameters will need to be adjustable, for instance how much has the image changed.
The program would have to utilize microsoft internet explorer windows for the portion of the screen getting compared. Each window would need to be tied to a simple DB (I could design) housing information on where to send an email alert if a change has been detected.
Is something like this possible using ImageMagick and if so, anyone interested?
Thanks,
Brian Selltiz

IM has a compare function, so that should be easy once you capture your images. See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/compare.php and http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#compare and http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/compare/#compare.

I don't have time now and unfortunately work on Macs. So perhaps you will find some Windows expert to help.
