ndarray-pixels v4.0.0

ndarray-pixels

Convert ndarray ↔ image data, on Web and Node.js.

Designed to be used with other ndarray-based packages.

Supported Formats

Known Bugs

• Web implementation (Canvas 2D) premultiplies alpha.

Quickstart

npm install --save ndarray-pixels

Web

import { getPixels, savePixels } from 'ndarray-pixels';

const bytesIn = await fetch('./input.png')
    .then((res) => res.arrayBuffer())
    .then((arrayBuffer) => new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer));

// read
const pixels = await getPixels(bytesIn, 'image/png'); // Uint8Array -> ndarray

// modify
const [width, height] = pixels.shape;
for (let x = 0; x < width; ++x) {
  for (let y = 0; y < height; ++y) {
    pixels.set(x, y, 0, 255); // R
    pixels.set(x, y, 1, 0.0); // G
    pixels.set(x, y, 2, 0.0); // B
    pixels.set(x, y, 3, 255); // A
  }
}

// write
const bytesOut = await savePixels(pixels, 'image/png'); // ndarray -> Uint8Array

Node.js

const fs = require('fs');
const { getPixels, savePixels } = require('ndarray-pixels');

const bufferIn = fs.readFileSync('./input.png');

// read
const pixels = await getPixels(bufferIn, 'image/png'); // Uint8Array -> ndarray

// modify
const [width, height] = pixels.shape;
for (let x = 0; x < width; ++x) {
  for (let y = 0; y < height; ++y) {
    pixels.set(x, y, 0, 255); // R
    pixels.set(x, y, 1, 0.0); // G
    pixels.set(x, y, 2, 0.0); // B
    pixels.set(x, y, 3, 255); // A
  }
}

// write
const bufferOut = await savePixels(pixels, 'image/png'); // ndarray -> Uint8Array
fs.writeFileSync('./output.png', bufferOut);

API

getPixels

▸ getPixels(data, mimeType): Promise\<NdArray\<Uint8Array>>

Decodes image data to an ndarray.

MIME type is optional when given a path or URL, and required when given a Uint8Array.

Accepts image/png or image/jpeg in Node.js, and additional formats on browsers with the necessary support in Canvas 2D.

Parameters

Returns

Promise\<NdArray\<Uint8Array>>

Defined in

index.ts:17

savePixels

▸ savePixels(pixels, mimeType): Promise\<Uint8Array>

Encodes an ndarray as image data in the given format.

If the source ndarray was constructed manually with default stride, use ndarray.transpose(1, 0) to reshape it and ensure an identical result from getPixels(). For an ndarray created by getPixels(), this isn't necessary.

Accepts image/png or image/jpeg in Node.js, and additional formats on browsers with the necessary support in Canvas 2D.

Parameters

Returns

Promise\<Uint8Array>

Defined in

index.ts:35
