Answer

Use a program like Inkscape to compare the two images after they have been saved by Motion.

I use this technique to compare a reference black image with the latest Motion image. This allows me to figure out if the latest image is too dark to bother saving. For your application, this sort of technique is only limited by your scripting skills.
