c# similarity help

Anyone can explain these codes for me?

It looks kind of like String.Compare()
(Comparison of strings by value.)

however the return of integers for the operators <, >, <=, >=, ==, != is a bad practice - user expect a boolean return value.

Also, if the "images" are what I think they are (images as in a matrix of pixels), then returning a value for comparison is not intuitive - What comparison algorithm are you using? - Why are you providing only one comparison algorithm and hiding its name? - What if the images are not of same size or pixel format?
