# imgproc-rs
[](https://crates.io/crates/imgproc-rs)
[](https://docs.rs/imgproc-rs)
[](https://github.com/tiffany1618/imgproc-rs/actions)
A Rust image processing library.
## Features
* Multithreading support for some functions via [rayon](https://github.com/rayon-rs/rayon) (see
[Enabling Multithreading](#enabling-multithreading) for more information)
## Supported Image Formats
`imgproc-rs` uses the i/o functions provided in the [`image`](https://github.com/image-rs/image) crate. A list of
supported image formats can be found [here](https://docs.rs/image/0.23.12/image/codecs/index.html#supported-formats).
## Notes
Running with the `release` profile greatly increases performance:
```
cargo run --release
```
## Examples
### Reading and Writing Images
```rust
use imgproc_rs::io;
fn main() {
// Read an image from a path
let img = io::read("path/to/some_image.png").unwrap();
// Print image information
println!("{:?}", img.info());
// Write the image to a path as a PNG
io::write(&img, "path/to/save_image.png").unwrap();
}
```
### Creating Images
Images can be created from existing vectors, slices, vectors of vectors, and vectors of slices. A few examples are shown
below.
```rust
use imgproc_rs::image::{Image, ImageInfo};
fn main() {
let vec = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12];
// Create an image from a slice
let img_slice = Image::from_slice(2, 2, 3, false, &vec);
// Create an image from a vector
let img_vec = Image::from_vec(2, 2, 3, false, vec);
// Create a blank (black) image
let img_blank: Image<u8> = Image::blank(ImageInfo::new(2, 2, 3, false));
// Create an empty image
let img_empty: Image<u8> = Image::empty(ImageInfo::new(2, 2, 3, false));
}
```
### Getting Image Information
```rust
use imgproc_rs::io;
use imgproc_rs::image::{Image, ImageInfo};
fn main() {
let img = io::read("path/to/some_image.png").unwrap();
// Get width and height of image
let (width, height) = img.info().wh();
// Get width, height, and channels of image
let (width, height, channels) = img.info().whc();
// Get width, height, channels, and alpha of image
let (width, height, channels, alpha) = img.info().whca();
/* Print image information
* Example output:
*
* width: 2
* height: 2
* channels: 3
* alpha: false
*
*/
println!("{}", img.info());
}
```
### Getting/Setting Image Pixels
Image pixels can be accessed using either 1D or 2D indexing. 1D indexing reads the image data row by row from left to
right, starting in the upper left corner of the image. 2D coordinates start at zero in the upper left corner of the
image and increase downwards and to the right.
```rust
use imgproc_rs::io;
use imgproc_rs::image::{Image, BaseImage};
fn main() {
let img = io::read("path/to/some_image.png").unwrap();
// Set an image pixel using a 1D index
img.set_pixel_indexed(0, &[1, 1, 1]);
// Get an image pixel using a 1D index
let pixel_1d = &img[0];
// Set an image pixel using 2D coordinates
img.set_pixel(1, 1, &[1, 1, 1]);
// Get an image pixel using 2D coordinates
let pixel_2d = img.get_pixel(1, 1);
}
```
## Enabling Multithreading
To enable multithreading, include the `parallel` feature in your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies.imgproc-rs]
version = "0.2.2"
default-features = false
features = ["parallel"]
```
Alternatively, pass the features flag to `cargo run`:
```
cargo run --features parallel
```
### Image processing functions that support multithreading:
* `transform` module
* `crop`
* `scale`
* `scale_lanczos`
* All functions in the `filter` module, except:
* `threshold`
* `residual`
* `median_filter`
* `alpha_trimmed_mean_filter`
