%%VERSION%%

bimage is an image processing library for OCaml.

Features

• Simple image type based on bigarrays
• Supports u8, u16, i32, i64, f32, f64, complex32 and complex64 datatypes
• Multiple layout support (Planar/Interleaved)
• Composable image operations
• Image I/O using ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick and FFmpeg in (bimage-unix)
• Support for displaying images using GTK (bimage-gtk) or SDL (bimage-sdl)

bimage is distributed under the ISC license.

Installation

bimage can be installed with opam:

opam install bimage

Additionally, bimage-unix, which provides ImageMagick and FFmpeg bindings, can be installed by running:

opam install bimage-unix

If you don't use opam consult the opam file for build instructions.

Examples

An example showing how to create an image and how to use Image.for_each:

open Bimage

let _ =
(* Create a new image *)
let a = Image.create u8 gray 64 64 in

(* Iterate over each pixel *)
let _ =
    Image.for_each (fun x y _px ->
        set a x y (x + y)
    ) a
in

(* Save the image using ImageMagick *)
Bimage_unix.Magick.write "test1.jpg" a

An example using Op.t to run a filter on an image:

open Bimage
open Bimage_unix

let _ =
(* Load an image using ImageMagick *)
let Some a = Magick.read "test/test.jpg" f32 rgb in

(* Create an operation to convert to grayscale and subtract 1.0 *)
let f = Op.(grayscale &- scalar 1.0) in

(* Create a destination image *)
let dest = Image.like f32 gray a in

(* Run the operation *)
let () = Op.eval f dest [| a |] in

(* Save the image using ImageMagick *)
Magick.write "test2.jpg" a
