Bitmap to int[,] conversion and vice versa - c#

Consider the following two routines.
//Tested
///Working fine.
public static Bitmap ToBitmap(int [,] image)
{
int Width = image.GetLength(0);
int Height = image.GetLength(1);
int i, j;
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(Width, Height);
BitmapData bitmapData = bitmap.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, Width, Height),
ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
unsafe
{
byte* address = (byte*)bitmapData.Scan0;
for (i = 0; i < bitmapData.Height; i++)
{
for (j = 0; j < bitmapData.Width; j++)
{
// write the logic implementation here
address[0] = (byte)image[j, i];
address[1] = (byte)image[j, i];
address[2] = (byte)image[j, i];
address[3] = (byte)255;
//4 bytes per pixel
address += 4;
}//end for j
//4 bytes per pixel
address += (bitmapData.Stride - (bitmapData.Width * 4));
}//end for i
}//end unsafe
bitmap.UnlockBits(bitmapData);
return bitmap;// col;
}
//Tested
///Working fine.
public static int[,] ToInteger(Bitmap bitmap)
{
int[,] array2D = new int[bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height];
BitmapData bitmapData = bitmap.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height),
ImageLockMode.ReadWrite,
PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb);
unsafe
{
byte* address = (byte*)bitmapData.Scan0;
int paddingOffset = bitmapData.Stride - (bitmap.Width * 4);//4 bytes per pixel
for (int i = 0; i < bitmap.Width; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < bitmap.Height; j++)
{
byte[] temp = new byte[4];
temp[0] = address[0];
temp[1] = address[1];
temp[2] = address[2];
temp[3] = address[3];
array2D[j, i] = BitConverter.ToInt32(temp, 0);
//4-bytes per pixel
address += 4;//4-channels
}
address += paddingOffset;
}
}
bitmap.UnlockBits(bitmapData);
return array2D;
}
These two routines work fine for 32bpp images. These routines only work when pixel format is set to PixelFormat.Format32bpp. If I use PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed, it generates an exception.
In order to avoid that exception (also, I couldn't achieve seamless conversion between byte and int because of address calculation problem), I need to convert that 32 bit Bitmap to gray-scale every time the int[,] is converted back to a Bitmap. I want to get rid of this problem.
Bitmap grayscale = Grayscale.ToGrayscale(InputImage);
//Here, the Bitmap is treated as a 32bit image
//to avoid the exception eventhough it is already
//an 8bpp grayscale image.
int[,] i1 = ImageDataConverter.ToInteger(grayscale);
Complex[,] comp = ImageDataConverter.ToComplex(i1);
int[,] i2 = ImageDataConverter.ToInteger(comp);
Bitmap b2 = ImageDataConverter.ToBitmap(i2);
//It is already a Grayscale image.
//But, the problem is, b2.PixelFormat is set to
//PixelFormat.Formap32bpp because of those routines.
//Hence the unnecessay conversion.
b2 = Grayscale.ToGrayscale(b2);
I need to modify them to operate on 8bpp indexed (grayscale) images only.
How can I achieve that?

If you want to deal with an indexed bitmap, you need to read each byte of the image, and lookup the color from the palette. When you save the image, you'll need to do the reverse logic:
public static Bitmap ToBitmap(int[,] image)
{
int width = image.GetLength(0);
int height = image.GetLength(1);
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(width, height, PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed);
BitmapData bitmapData = bitmap.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, width, height),
ImageLockMode.WriteOnly, PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed);
int stride = bitmapData.Stride;
// A dictionary of colors to their index values
Dictionary<int, int> palette = new Dictionary<int, int>();
// A flat list of colors
List<Color> paletteList = new List<Color>();
unsafe
{
byte* address = (byte*)bitmapData.Scan0;
for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
{
for (int y = 0; y < height; y++)
{
// Get the color from the Bitmap
int color = image[x, y];
if (!palette.ContainsKey(color))
{
// This color isn't in the palette, go ahead and add it
palette.Add(color, palette.Count);
paletteList.Add(Color.FromArgb(color));
if (palette.Count >= 256)
{
// The palette is too big. Ideally this function would
// dither some pixels so it could handle this condition
// but that would make this example overly complicated
throw new InvalidOperationException("Too many colors in image");
}
}
// And lookup the index of the color in the palette and
// add it to the BitmapData's memory
address[stride * y + x] = (byte)palette[color];
}
}
}
bitmap.UnlockBits(bitmapData);
// Each time you call Bitmap.Palette it actually returns
// a Clone of the object, so we need to ask for a cloned
// copy here.
var newPalette = bitmap.Palette;
// For each one of our colors, add it to the palette object
for (int i = 0; i < paletteList.Count; i++)
{
newPalette.Entries[i] = paletteList[i];
}
// And since this is a clone, assign it back to the bitmap
// so it'll take effect.
bitmap.Palette = newPalette;
return bitmap;
}
public static int[,] ToInteger(Bitmap bitmap)
{
if (bitmap.Palette.Entries.Length == 0)
{
// This doesn't appear to have a palette, so this operation doesn't
// make sense
throw new InvalidOperationException("bitmap is not an indexed bitmap");
}
int width = bitmap.Width;
int height = bitmap.Height;
int[,] array2D = new int[width, height];
BitmapData bitmapData = bitmap.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, width, height),

{
// Lookup the color based off the pixel, and set it's value
// to the return array
array2D[x, y] = bitmap.Palette.Entries[address[stride * y + x]].ToArgb();
}
}
}
bitmap.UnlockBits(bitmapData);
return array2D;
}

Why does the Listing #1 work, but Listing #2 doesn't?
What modification can make the Listing #2 work?
Both of these are overly complicated. LockBits can convert data to 1bpp. Just open the source as 1bpp, copy its data into the new 1bpp image, and you're done.
I'm also quite baffled by the combination of GetPixel and LockBits. Usually, using LockBits means you realized that GetPixel is a horribly slow waste of time that performs a LockBits internally on every call.
public static Bitmap BitmapTo1Bpp(Bitmap source)
{
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, source.Width, source.Height);
Bitmap dest = new Bitmap(rect.Width, rect.Height, PixelFormat.Format1bppIndexed);
dest.SetResolution(source.HorizontalResolution, source.VerticalResolution);
BitmapData sourceData = source.LockBits(rect, ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, PixelFormat.Format1bppIndexed);
BitmapData targetData = dest.LockBits(rect, ImageLockMode.WriteOnly, PixelFormat.Format1bppIndexed);
Int32 actualDataWidth = (rect.Width + 7) / 8;
Int32 h = source.Height;
Int32 origStride = sourceData.Stride;
Int32 targetStride = targetData.Stride;
// buffer for one line of image data.
Byte[] imageData = new Byte[actualDataWidth];
Int64 sourcePos = sourceData.Scan0.ToInt64();
Int64 destPos = targetData.Scan0.ToInt64();
// Copy line by line, skipping by stride but copying actual data width
for (Int32 y = 0; y < h; y++)
{
Marshal.Copy(new IntPtr(sourcePos), imageData, 0, actualDataWidth);
Marshal.Copy(imageData, 0, new IntPtr(destPos), actualDataWidth);
sourcePos += origStride;
destPos += targetStride;
}
dest.UnlockBits(targetData);
source.UnlockBits(sourceData);
return dest;
}
Do note that conversion of data to indexed formats should be avoided in cases where your result is not 1bpp for pure black and white. Indexed formats are paletted, and doing it this way will not do any kind of reduction to an optimised palette approaching the image colours; it will just change the colours on the image to their closest match on the standard palette for this bit depth. For 1bpp this is just black and white, which is perfect, but for 4bpp and 8bpp it will give pretty bad results.
Also note that for some reason you can't convert from a higher to a lower indexed pixel format; it will throw an exception. Since you can convert a bitmap to 32-bit using the new Bitmap(Bitmap) constructor, this problem can easily be avoided by calling the code like this:
public static Bitmap ConvertTo1Bpp(Bitmap source)
{
PixelFormat sourcePf = source.PixelFormat;
if ((sourcePf & PixelFormat.Indexed) == 0 || Image.GetPixelFormatSize(sourcePf) == 1)
return BitmapTo1Bpp(source);
using (Bitmap bm32 = new Bitmap(source))
return BitmapTo1Bpp(bm32);
}

Getting different bitmap object from same image file

I am creating Bitmap object from the same image, but in the end getting different results. It should calculate deviation from the image colors and images are the same so why results are different?
double test1 = GetStdDev("C:\\temp\\images\\file.jpg");
Bitmap img = new Bitmap("C:\\temp\\images\\file.jpg");
double test2 = GetStdDev(img);
public static double GetStdDev(string imageFileName)
{
double total = 0, totalVariance = 0;
int count = 0;
double stdDev = 0;
// First get all the bytes
using (Bitmap b = new Bitmap(imageFileName))
{
BitmapData bmData = b.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, b.Width, b.Height), ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, b.PixelFormat);
int stride = bmData.Stride;
IntPtr Scan0 = bmData.Scan0;
unsafe
{
byte* p = (byte*)(void*)Scan0;
int nOffset = stride - b.Width * 3;
for (int y = 0; y < b.Height; ++y)
{
for (int x = 0; x < b.Width; ++x)
{
count++;
byte blue = p[0];
byte green = p[1];
byte red = p[2];
int pixelValue = Color.FromArgb(0, red, green, blue).ToArgb();
total += pixelValue;
double avg = total / count;
totalVariance += Math.Pow(pixelValue - avg, 2);
stdDev = Math.Sqrt(totalVariance / count);
p += 3;
}
p += nOffset;
}
}
b.UnlockBits(bmData);
}
return stdDev;
}
private static double GetStdDev(Bitmap img)
{
double total = 0, totalVariance = 0;
int count = 0;
double stdDev = 0;
// First get all the bytes
using (Bitmap b = new Bitmap(img))
{
BitmapData bmData = b.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, b.Width, b.Height), ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, b.PixelFormat);
int stride = bmData.Stride;
IntPtr Scan0 = bmData.Scan0;
unsafe
{
byte* p = (byte*)(void*)Scan0;
int nOffset = stride - b.Width * 3;
for (int y = 0; y < b.Height; ++y)
{
for (int x = 0; x < b.Width; ++x)
{
count++;
byte blue = p[0];
byte green = p[1];
byte red = p[2];
int pixelValue = Color.FromArgb(0, red, green, blue).ToArgb();
total += pixelValue;
double avg = total / count;
totalVariance += Math.Pow(pixelValue - avg, 2);
stdDev = Math.Sqrt(totalVariance / count);
p += 3;
}
p += nOffset;
}
}
b.UnlockBits(bmData);
}
return stdDev;
}
Just found solution, it was problem with deep copying bitmap object. instead using new Bitmap(img) use Bitmap img2 = (Bitmap) img.Clone(); don't know it is the right solution, but it does the job.

Find differences between images

Suppose i had two nearly identical images and i wanted to locate and highlight the differences between them and produce the diff image. the routine works but this routine ask to supply color which i do not want. here is my code.
public class ImageTool
{
public static unsafe Bitmap GetDifferenceImage(Bitmap image1, Bitmap image2, Color matchColor)
{
if (image1 == null | image2 == null)
return null;
if (image1.Height != image2.Height || image1.Width != image2.Width)
return null;
Bitmap diffImage = image2.Clone() as Bitmap;
int height = image1.Height;
int width = image1.Width;
BitmapData data1 = image1.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, width, height),
ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
BitmapData data2 = image2.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, width, height),
ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
BitmapData diffData = diffImage.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, width, height),
ImageLockMode.WriteOnly, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
byte* data1Ptr = (byte*)data1.Scan0;
byte* data2Ptr = (byte*)data2.Scan0;
byte* diffPtr = (byte*)diffData.Scan0;
byte[] swapColor = new byte[3];
swapColor[0] = matchColor.B;
swapColor[1] = matchColor.G;
swapColor[2] = matchColor.R;
int rowPadding = data1.Stride - (image1.Width * 3);
// iterate over height (rows)
for (int i = 0; i < height; i++)
{
// iterate over width (columns)
for (int j = 0; j < width; j++)
{
int same = 0;
byte[] tmp = new byte[3];
// compare pixels and copy new values into temporary array
for (int x = 0; x < 3; x++)
{
tmp[x] = data2Ptr[0];
if (data1Ptr[0] == data2Ptr[0])
{
same++;
}
data1Ptr++; // advance image1 ptr
data2Ptr++; // advance image2 ptr
}
// swap color or add new values
for (int x = 0; x < 3; x++)
{
diffPtr[0] = (same == 3) ? swapColor[x] : tmp[x];
diffPtr++; // advance diff image ptr
}
}
// at the end of each column, skip extra padding
if (rowPadding > 0)
{
data1Ptr += rowPadding;
data2Ptr += rowPadding;
diffPtr += rowPadding;
}
}
image1.UnlockBits(data1);
image2.UnlockBits(data2);
diffImage.UnlockBits(diffData);
return diffImage;
}
}
calling like this way:
Bitmap diff = ImageTool.GetDifferenceImage(image1, image2, Color.Pink);
diff.MakeTransparent(Color.Pink);
diff.Save("C:\\test-diff.png",ImageFormat.Png);
some one just guide me how to change this routine as a result we do not have to pass color when i will call GetDifferenceImage() method.
this way image comparison is best technique if not then guide me how to develop a routine which can be more faster to get the diff image.
after getting the diff image how can i merge the diff image with image1. help me to develop a faster merge routine.
The diff image is black if two images are identical and has an increasing brightness for pixels with larger differences. You can just change the algorithm so that instead of assigning the pixel the swapcolor it assigns it the difference between the two colors.
// iterate over height (rows)
for (int i = 0; i < height; i++)
{
// iterate over width (columns)
for (int j = 0; j < width; j++)
{
// for each channel
for (int x=0; x<3; x++)
{
diffPtr[0] = Abs(data1Ptr[0]-data2Ptr[0]);
data1Ptr++; // advance image1 ptr
data2Ptr++; // advance image2 ptr
diffPtr++; // advance diff image ptr
}
}
// at the end of each column, skip extra padding
if (rowPadding > 0)
{
data1Ptr += rowPadding;
data2Ptr += rowPadding;
diffPtr += rowPadding;
}
}
How you show/merge the diff will depend on what you are going to do with it.

Improving Image compositing Algorithm c# .NET

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on improvements I can do in making this compositing algorithm faster. What is does is takes 3 images splits them up to get the 1st Images Red Channel, 2nd Images Green channel and the 3rd Images Blue channel and composites them together into 1 new image. Now it works but at an excruciatingly slow pace. The reason i think down to the pixel by pixel processing it has to do on all image components.
The process is to :
For all images:
Extract respective R G and B values -> composite into 1 image -> Save new Image.
foreach (Image[] QRE2ImgComp in QRE2IMGArray)
{
Globals.updProgress = "Processing frames: " + k + " of " + QRE2IMGArray.Count + " frames done.";
QRMProgressUpd(EventArgs.Empty);
Image RedLayer = GetRedImage(QRE2ImgComp[0]);
QRE2ImgComp[0] = RedLayer;
Image GreenLayer = GetGreenImage(QRE2ImgComp[1]);
QRE2ImgComp[1] = GreenLayer;
Image BlueLayer = GetBlueImage(QRE2ImgComp[2]);
QRE2ImgComp[2] = BlueLayer;
Bitmap composite = new Bitmap(QRE2ImgComp[0].Height, QRE2ImgComp[0].Width);
Color Rlayer,Glayer,Blayer;
byte R, G, B;
for (int y = 0; y < composite.Height; y++)
{
for (int x = 0; x < composite.Width; x++)
{
//pixelColorAlpha = composite.GetPixel(x, y);
Bitmap Rcomp = new Bitmap(QRE2ImgComp[0]);
Bitmap Gcomp = new Bitmap(QRE2ImgComp[1]);
Bitmap Bcomp = new Bitmap(QRE2ImgComp[2]);
Rlayer = Rcomp.GetPixel(x, y);
Glayer = Gcomp.GetPixel(x, y);
Blayer = Bcomp.GetPixel(x, y);
R = (byte)(Rlayer.R);
G = (byte)(Glayer.G);
B = (byte)(Blayer.B);
composite.SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb((int)R, (int)G, (int)B));
}
}
Globals.updProgress = "Saving frame...";
QRMProgressUpd(EventArgs.Empty);
Image tosave = composite;
Globals.QRFrame = tosave;
tosave.Save("C:\\QRItest\\E" + k + ".png", ImageFormat.Png);
k++;
}
For reference here is the red channel filter method relatively the same for blue and green:
public Image GetRedImage(Image sourceImage)
{
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(sourceImage);
Bitmap redBmp = new Bitmap(sourceImage.Width, sourceImage.Height);
for (int x = 0; x < bmp.Width; x++)
{
for (int y = 0; y < bmp.Height; y++)
{
Color pxl = bmp.GetPixel(x, y);
Color redPxl = Color.FromArgb((int)pxl.R, 0, 0);
redBmp.SetPixel(x, y, redPxl);
}
}
Image tout = (Image)redBmp;
return tout;
}
Move these
Bitmap Rcomp = new Bitmap(QRE2ImgComp[0]);
Bitmap Gcomp = new Bitmap(QRE2ImgComp[1]);
Bitmap Bcomp = new Bitmap(QRE2ImgComp[2]);
outside the for-loops!
Other very important points:
avoid using GetPixel - it is VERY SLOW!
Checkout LockBits etc. - this is how pixel-level access is usually done in .NET
Consider using a 3rd-party library (free or commercial)... several have some optimized method built-in to do what you are trying to achieve...
I totally agree with the points Yahia listed in his answer to improve performance. I'd like to add one more point regarding performance. You could use the Parallel class of the .Net Framework to parallelize the execution of your for loops. The following example makes use of the LockBits method and the Parallel class to improve performance (assuming 32 bits per pixel (PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)):
public unsafe static Bitmap GetBlueImagePerf(Image sourceImage)
{
int width = sourceImage.Width;
int height = sourceImage.Height;
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(sourceImage);
Bitmap redBmp = new Bitmap(width, height, bmp.PixelFormat);
BitmapData bd = bmp.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, width, height), ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb);
BitmapData bd2 = redBmp.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, width, height), ImageLockMode.WriteOnly, PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb);
byte* source = (byte*)bd.Scan0.ToPointer();
byte* target = (byte*)bd2.Scan0.ToPointer();
int stride = bd.Stride;
Parallel.For(0, height, (y1) =>
{
byte* s = source + (y1 * stride);
byte* t = target + (y1 * stride);
for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
{
// use t[1], s[1] to access green channel
// use t[2], s[2] to access red channel
t[0] = s[0];
t += 4; // Add bytes per pixel to current position.
s += 4; // For other pixel formats this value is different.
