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.
}
});
bmp.UnlockBits(bd);
redBmp.UnlockBits(bd2);
return redBmp;
}
public unsafe static void DoImageConversion()
{
Bitmap RedLayer = GetRedImagePerf(Image.FromFile("image_path1"));
Bitmap GreenLayer = GetGreenImagePerf(Image.FromFile("image_path2"));
Bitmap BlueLayer = GetBlueImagePerf(Image.FromFile("image_path3"));
Bitmap composite =
new Bitmap(RedLayer.Width, RedLayer.Height, RedLayer.PixelFormat);
BitmapData bd = composite.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, RedLayer.Width, RedLayer.Height), ImageLockMode.WriteOnly, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
byte* comp = (byte*)bd.Scan0.ToPointer();
BitmapData bdRed = RedLayer.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, RedLayer.Width, RedLayer.Height), ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
BitmapData bdGreen = GreenLayer.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, RedLayer.Width, RedLayer.Height), ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
BitmapData bdBlue = BlueLayer.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, RedLayer.Width, RedLayer.Height), ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
byte* red = (byte*)bdRed.Scan0.ToPointer();
byte* green = (byte*)bdGreen.Scan0.ToPointer();
byte* blue = (byte*)bdBlue.Scan0.ToPointer();
int stride = bdRed.Stride;
Parallel.For(0, bdRed.Height, (y1) =>
{
byte* r = red + (y1 * stride);
byte* g = green + (y1 * stride);
byte* b = blue + (y1 * stride);
byte* c = comp + (y1 * stride);
for (int x = 0; x < bdRed.Width; x++)
{
c[0] = b[0];
c[1] = g[1];
c[2] = r[2];
r += 4; // Add bytes per pixel to current position.
g += 4; // For other pixel formats this value is different.
b += 4; // Use Image.GetPixelFormatSize to get number of bits per pixel
c += 4;
}
});
composite.Save("save_image_path", ImageFormat.Jpeg);
}
Hope, this answer gives you a starting point for improving your code.

I've built a small test example where the goal is to change all pixels in my .png to white. I'm doing it using BitmapData, because as I understand it, the performance is better. If I can get it working; then I can change which pixels I'm changing and add different conditions to altering a pixel color. But I'm stuck on just this simple test.
Here's my C# :
public static void TestConvertAllBlackBitmapToAllWhite()
{
string allBlackPNGFullFilePath = #"C:\Users\{Username}\Desktop\50x50AllBlack.png";
Bitmap allBlackBitmap = new Bitmap(allBlackPNGFullFilePath);
Bitmap newBitmap = (Bitmap)allBlackBitmap.Clone();
Size size = newBitmap.Size;
PixelFormat pixelFormat = newBitmap.PixelFormat;
byte bitDepth = (byte)(pixelFormat == PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb ? 4 : 3);
Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle(Point.Empty, size);
BitmapData bitmapData = newBitmap.LockBits(rectangle, ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, pixelFormat);
int dataSize = bitmapData.Stride * bitmapData.Height;
byte[] data = new byte[dataSize];
Marshal.Copy(bitmapData.Scan0, data, 0, dataSize);
Color white = Color.White;
for (int y = 0; y < size.Height; y++)
{
for (int x = 0; x < size.Width; x++)
{
// Get Index
int index = y * bitmapData.Stride + x * bitDepth;
// Set Pixel Color
data[index] = white.B;
data[index + 1] = white.G;
data[index + 2] = white.R;
}
}
Marshal.Copy(data, 0, bitmapData.Scan0, data.Length);
newBitmap.UnlockBits(bitmapData);
// Save New Converted Bitmap
string originalFileName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(allBlackPNGFullFilePath);
string directory = Path.GetDirectoryName(allBlackPNGFullFilePath);
string newBitmapFileName = originalFileName + "_Converted";
string newBitmapFullFileName = directory + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar.ToString() + newBitmapFileName + ".png";
newBitmap.Save(newBitmapFullFileName, ImageFormat.Png);
}
My input is an all black 50x50 .png :
The problem is the output I'm getting is another all black .png instead of an all white one.
How can I fix up my simple example code to produce an all white .png as a result?
Any help / guidance will be really appreciated.
As pointed out by #Taw
It's a little thing on this line :
BitmapData bitmapData = newBitmap.LockBits(rectangle, ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, pixelFormat);
The ImageLockMode is set to ReadOnly. Since I'm making changes to the BitmapData while looping; the ImageLockMode should be ReadWrite
See: Save a 32-bit Bitmap as 1-bit .bmp file in C#

{
destBytes[x / 8] = 0;
}
if (c.GetBrightness() >= 0.5)
{
destBytes[x / 8] |= (byte)(0x80 >> (x % 8));
}
}
Marshal.Copy(destBytes, 0, (IntPtr)((long)destBmpData.Scan0 + destBmpData.Stride * y), destBytes.Length);
}
dest.UnlockBits(destBmpData);
return dest;
}

{
destBytes[x*y / 8] |= (byte)(0x80 >> (x % 8));
}
}
}
Marshal.Copy(destBytes, 0, destBmpData.Scan0, destBytes.Length);
dest.UnlockBits(destBmpData);
return dest;
}
See the position of Marshal.Copy().
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);
}
I have written a code that converts image to grayscale. but the code only convert partial of it.
I am trying to convert this code to a Parallel computation. I end up with bugs that I can not get my head around them. Any suggestion?
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap)pictureBox1.Image;
unsafe {
//get image dimension
//int width = bmp.Width;
//int height = bmp.Height;
BitmapData bitmapData = bmp.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height), ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, bmp.PixelFormat);
//define variable
int bpp = System.Drawing.Bitmap.GetPixelFormatSize(bmp.PixelFormat) / 8;
int hip = bitmapData.Height;
int wib = bitmapData.Width + bpp;
//point to first pixel
byte* PtrFirstPixel = (byte*)bitmapData.Scan0;
//color of pixel
// Color p;
//grayscale
Parallel.For(0, hip, y =>
{
byte* currentLine = PtrFirstPixel + (y * bitmapData.Stride);
for (int x = 0; x < wib; x = x + bpp)
{
//get pixel value
//p = bmp.GetPixel(x, y);
//extract pixel component ARGB
//int a = p.A;
//int r = p.R;
//int g = p.G;
// int b = p.B;
int b = currentLine[x];
int g = currentLine[x + 1];
int r = currentLine[x + 2];
//find average
int avg = (r + g + b) / 3;
//set new pixel value
// bmp.SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(a, avg, avg, avg));
currentLine[x] = (byte)avg;
currentLine[x + 1] = (byte)avg;
currentLine[x + 2] = (byte)avg;
}
});
bmp.UnlockBits(bitmapData);
//load grayscale image in picturebox2
//pictureBox2.Image = bmp;
}
pictureBox2.Image = bmp;
}
my out put image
int wib = bitmapData.Width + bpp;
should be:
int wib = bitmapData.Width * bpp;
You want the number of bytes which requires a multiply, not an add. There may be other issues, but this is definitely incorrect.
I have bitmap extracted from BitmapSource (RenderTargetBitmap) with blue circle in it. RenderTargetBitmap is created with PixelFormats.Pbgra32.
PixelFormats Pbgra32 pre-multiplies each color channel with alpha value. So, when I try to convert bitmap to cursor I was getting less opaque image than is should have.
I found solution to the problem here which clone the bitmap to Format24bppRgb and manually set R,B,G and alpha values. However, solutions works perfectly fine but for cloned bitmap I see black border around visual.
Can I get rid of that black border in cloned bitmap? (I suspect it's something inside SafeCopy method)
Methods used from the link are:
private static void SafeCopy(BitmapData srcData, BitmapData dstData, byte alphaLevel)
{
for (int y = 0; y < srcData.Height; y++)
for (int x = 0; x < srcData.Width; x++)
{
byte b = Marshal.ReadByte(srcData.Scan0, y * srcData.Stride + x * 3);
byte g = Marshal.ReadByte(srcData.Scan0, y * srcData.Stride + x * 3 + 1);
byte r = Marshal.ReadByte(srcData.Scan0, y * srcData.Stride + x * 3 + 2);
Marshal.WriteByte(dstData.Scan0, y * dstData.Stride + x * 4, b);
Marshal.WriteByte(dstData.Scan0, y * dstData.Stride + x * 4 + 1, g);
Marshal.WriteByte(dstData.Scan0, y * dstData.Stride + x * 4 + 2, r);
Marshal.WriteByte(dstData.Scan0, y * dstData.Stride + x * 4 + 3, alphaLevel);
}
}
private static Cursor CreateCustomCursorInternal(Bitmap bitmap, double opacity)
{
Bitmap cursorBitmap = null;
IconInfo iconInfo = new IconInfo();
Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height);
try
{
byte alphaLevel = System.Convert.ToByte(byte.MaxValue * opacity);
// Here, the pre-multiplied alpha channel is specified
cursorBitmap = new Bitmap(bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height,
PixelFormat.Format32bppPArgb);
// Assuming the source bitmap can be locked in a 24 bits per pixel format
BitmapData bitmapData = bitmap.LockBits(rectangle, ImageLockMode.ReadOnly,
PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
BitmapData cursorBitmapData = cursorBitmap.LockBits(rectangle,
ImageLockMode.WriteOnly, cursorBitmap.PixelFormat);
// Use SafeCopy() to set the bitmap contents
SafeCopy(bitmapData, cursorBitmapData, alphaLevel);
cursorBitmap.UnlockBits(cursorBitmapData);
bitmap.UnlockBits(bitmapData);
.......

The simplest way to convert a WPF 32bit PBGRA bitmap to a WinForms PARGB bitmap and at the same time apply a global opacity seems to be just multiplying all A, R, G and B values with the opacity factor (a float value between 0 and 1) like in the method shown below. However, I would have expected that it would also be necessary to swap the bytes, but apparently it isn't.
private static void CopyBufferWithOpacity(byte[] sourceBuffer,
System.Drawing.Imaging.BitmapData targetBuffer, double opacity)
{
for (int i = 0; i < sourceBuffer.Length; i++)
{
sourceBuffer[i] = (byte)Math.Round(opacity * sourceBuffer[i]);
}
Marshal.Copy(sourceBuffer, 0, targetBuffer.Scan0, sourceBuffer.Length);
}
Given a 32bit PBGRA bitmap pbgraBitmap (e.g. a RenderTargetBitmap), you would use the method like this:
var width = pbgraBitmap.PixelWidth;
var height = pbgraBitmap.PixelHeight;
var stride = width * 4;
var buffer = new byte[stride * height];
pbgraBitmap.CopyPixels(buffer, stride, 0);
var targetFormat = System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppPArgb;
var bitmap = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(width, height, targetFormat);
var bitmapData = bitmap.LockBits(
new System.Drawing.Rectangle(0, 0, width, height),
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageLockMode.WriteOnly,
targetFormat);
CopyBufferWithOpacity(buffer, bitmapData, 0.6);
bitmap.UnlockBits(bitmapData);
I have an array which consists in PixelData extracted from a Dicom Image.
Here's the code:
byte[] bytes = img.PixelData.GetFrame(0).Data; // img is the Dicom Image
int count = bytes.Length / 2;
ushort[] words = new ushort[count];
for (int i = 0, p = 0; i < count; i++, p += 2)
{
words[i] = BitConverter.ToUInt16(bytes, p);
}
pixels16 = words.ToList(); //pixels16 contains now the PixelData for the Grayscale image
Now, here's my question, how do I render that into a Picturebox??
My code for converting Bitmaps from Format16bppGrayScale to Format8bppIndexed format. PictureBox can easy show this format. (If you want, you can use different palette).
public Bitmap Gray16To8bppIndexed(Bitmap BmpIn)
{
if (BmpIn.PixelFormat != PixelFormat.Format16bppGrayScale)
throw new BadImageFormatException();
byte[] ImageData = new byte[BmpIn.Width * BmpIn.Height * 2];
Rectangle Re = new Rectangle(0, 0, BmpIn.Width, BmpIn.Height);
BitmapData BmpData = BmpIn.LockBits(Re, ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, BmpIn.PixelFormat);
Marshal.Copy(BmpData.Scan0, ImageData, 0, ImageData.Length);
BmpIn.UnlockBits(BmpData);
byte[] ImageData2 = new byte[BmpIn.Width * BmpIn.Height];
for (long i = 0; i < ImageData2.LongLength; i++)
ImageData2[i] = ImageData[i * 2 + 1];
ImageData = null;
Bitmap BmpOut = new Bitmap(BmpIn.Width, BmpIn.Height, PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed);
BmpData = BmpOut.LockBits(Re, ImageLockMode.WriteOnly, BmpOut.PixelFormat);
Marshal.Copy(ImageData2, 0, BmpData.Scan0, ImageData2.Length);
BmpOut.UnlockBits(BmpData);
ImageData2 = null;
BmpData = null;
ColorPalette GrayPalette = BmpOut.Palette;
Color[] GrayColors = GrayPalette.Entries;
for (int i = 0; i < GrayColors.Length; i++)
GrayColors[GrayColors.Length - 1 - i] = Color.FromArgb(i, i, i);
BmpOut.Palette = GrayPalette;
return BmpOut;
}
Well, I don't know the specifics, because it depends on how you really want to go about it (if performance is important, you need to create your own subclass of Bitmap, but otherwise, Bitmap.SetPixel would work fine).
But essentially, you need to shove those pixels into a Bitmap, then set the picture box's image to that bitmap, like:
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(width, height);
for(int y = 0;y < height;y++)
for(int x = 0;x < width;x++)
bitmap.SetPixel(x,y, Color.fromRGB(/* unpack your R,G,B channel of your pixel here */);
pictureBox.Image = bitmap;
You can utilize the AForge .NET Framework, which is a great .NET library for image processing. The built-in .NET Picturebox could not nativley display images with System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format16bppGrayScale, but the AForge library has its own Picturebox control, check this out. It expects a .NET Image.
You can include AForge to your project easily with NuGet:
Install-Package AForge.Controls
Install-Package AForge.Imaging
Or just
Install-Package AForge
Example code below:
//SOME BYTES
//Load here the DICOM image
int width=640, height=480;
int numberOfPixels = width*height;
byte[] source = new byte[2*numberOfPixels];
//With AFORGE
var image = AForge.Imaging.UnmanagedImage.Create(width, height, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format16bppGrayScale);
IntPtr ptrToImage = image.ImageData;
//Copies the bytes from source to the image
//System.Runtime.InteropServices
Marshal.Copy(source, 0, ptrToImage,numberOfPixels);
//WITH .NET
System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmapImage = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(width, height, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format16bppGrayScale);
var imageData = bitmapImage.LockBits(new System.Drawing.Rectangle(0, 0, width, height), System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format16bppGrayScale);
Marshal.Copy(source, 0, imageData.Scan0, numberOfPixels);
bitmapImage.UnlockBits(imageData);
Got this idea from a friend. The inputImage.ImageSource property is a 2D array with grayscale pixel values.
Bitmap grayscaleImage = new Bitmap(inputImage.ImageSource);
for (int x = 0; x < grayscaleImage.Width; x++)
{
for (int y = 0; y < grayscaleImage.Height; y++)
{
byte[,] tempMatrix = inputImage.ImageGrayscale;
byte temp = tempMatrix[x, y];
Color tempColor = Color.FromArgb(255, temp, temp, temp);
grayscaleImage.SetPixel(x, y, tempColor);
}
}
picboxDisplay.Image = grayscaleImage;
