cykooz.resizer 2.2.1

A fast image resizer

cykooz.resizer

cykooz.resizer is package with the optimized version of image resizing based on Rust's crate fast_image_resize.

CHANGELOG

Installation

U16x2	Two u16 components per pixel (e.g. LA16)	+	+	+
U16x3	Three u16 components per pixel (e.g. RGB16)	+	+	+
U16x4	Four u16 components per pixel (e.g. RGBA16, RGBx16, CMYK16)	+	+	+
I32	One i32 component per pixel	-	-	-
F32	One f32 component per pixel	-	-	-

Implemented resize algorithms:

• Nearest - is nearest-neighbor interpolation, replacing every pixel with the nearest pixel in the output; for upscaling this means multiple pixels of the same color will be present.
• Convolution with different filters:
  • box
  • bilinear
  • catmull_rom
  • mitchell
  • lanczos3
• Super sampling - is resizing an image in two steps. The first step uses the "nearest" algorithm. The second step uses "convolution" with configurable filter.

Usage Examples

Resize Pillow's image

from PIL import Image

from cykooz.resizer import FilterType, ResizeAlg, Resizer


resizer = Resizer(ResizeAlg.convolution(FilterType.lanczos3))
dst_size = (255, 170)
dst_image = Image.new('RGBA', dst_size)

for i in range(1, 10):
    image = Image.open('nasa_%d-4928x3279.png' % i)
    resizer.resize_pil(image, dst_image)
    dst_image.save('nasa_%d-255x170.png' % i)

Resize raw image with an alpha channel

from cykooz.resizer import AlphaMulDiv, FilterType, ImageData, PixelType, ResizeAlg, Resizer

def resize_raw(width: int, height: int, pixels: bytes):
    src_image = ImageData(
        width,
        height,
        PixelType.U8x4,
        pixels,
    )
    alpha_mul_div = AlphaMulDiv()
    resizer = Resizer(ResizeAlg.convolution(FilterType.lanczos3))
    dst_image = ImageData(255, 170, PixelType.U8x4)
    alpha_mul_div.multiply_alpha_inplace(src_image)
    resizer.resize(src_image, dst_image)
    alpha_mul_div.divide_alpha_inplace(dst_image)    
    return dst_image

Change used CPU-extensions

from cykooz.resizer import FilterType, ResizeAlg, Resizer, CpuExtensions


resizer = Resizer(ResizeAlg.convolution(FilterType.lanczos3))
resizer.cpu_extensions = CpuExtensions.sse4_1
...
