Image-Processing-cpp

• This project presents a non exhaustive list of image processing algorithms. The algorithms are implemented in C and C++ and all images used are in pgm format.

Prerequisites

• To follow this tutorial, you need to install the g++ compiler on your PC.
• All examples here are based on a Linux environment but can be easily adapted for Windows based environments.

Compiling the code

• Clone this repo into your environment and cd into the ImageProcessing folder:

git clone https://github.com/Yuhala/image-processing-cpp.git && cd ImageProcessing

Compile the program:

sudo g++ main.cpp Image.cpp -o app

How to use the program

• The program presents 26 image processing algorithms. Logic operations, mathematical operations, convolutions and filters, and calculating an image histogram, image luminance, and contrast enhancement algorithms.
• The program can take 3, 4, or 5 arguments, including the name of the binary (arg 0).
• The sample images used are in the images folder and are all .pgm format.
• The image resulting from each operation is generated in the output.pgm
• Below is a list of some of the operations provided by the program and how you can test them on images.

Logic Operations (6)

• Image binarization based on Otsu's thresholding algorithm: ./app otsuBinarize images/lena.pgm
  

• Logic NOT: ./app not images/lena.pgm
  

• Logic XOR: ./app images/lena.pgm xor images/aya.pgm
  

Convolution and Filters (9)

• Gauss Filter: ./app gaussFilter images/aya.pgm
  

• Laplacien Convolution: ./app laplacienConvo images/lena.pgm
  

Documentation

• A full list of all the implemented algorithms can be found in page 2 of documentation.
• Enter each operation in camel case when testing, just like in the examples above.

Some useful linux commands for images

• Resize an image: convert img.png -resize 300x300\> output.png (Target size in this example is 300x300).
• Identify image resolution (width x height): identify -format "%wx%h" image.png (Install imagemagick linux package).
