why image automation is different than normal UI automation? please help to understand the difference in this two

the main difference between image automation and UI automation lies in how they identify and interact with elements. UI automation relies on element properties and native automation support for accuracy and efficiency, while image automation uses visual patterns from screenshots, making it less reliable but more versatile for certain scenarios where traditional UI automation may not be feasible or practical. Image automation is often used as a fallback option when element-based automation is not possible or when automating legacy or non-standard applications.

To enable image and text-based process automation, UiPath Studio features activities that simulate keyboard and mouse input, such as clicking, hovering or typing, text recognition and OCR activities that use screen scraping to identify UI elements, and image recognition activities that work directly with images to identify UI elements. Specialized recording wizards for Screen Scraping and Citrix recording can also automatically generate the activities required for each process, as explained here.

Image and Text automation is useful in situations when UI automation does not work, such as in virtual machine environments, where selectors cannot be found by using normal methods.
