cykooz-resizer 3.1.1

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

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
  • gaussian
  • 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, ResizeOptions


resizer = Resizer()
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 using a bilinear filter and ignoring an alpha channel.
image = Image.open('nasa-4928x3279.png')
resizer.resize_pil(
    image,
    dst_image,
    ResizeOptions(
        resize_alg=ResizeAlg.convolution(FilterType.bilinear),
        use_alpha=False,
    )
)

Resize raw image with an alpha channel

from cykooz.resizer import ImageData, PixelType, Resizer


def resize_raw(width: int, height: int, pixels: bytes):
    src_image = ImageData(
        width,
        height,
        PixelType.U8x4,
        pixels,
    )
    resizer = Resizer()
    dst_image = ImageData(255, 170, PixelType.U8x4)
    # By default, Resizer multiplies and divides by alpha channel
    # images with `U8x2`, `U8x4`, `U16x2` and `U16x4` pixels.
    resizer.resize(src_image, dst_image)
    return dst_image

Change used CPU-extensions

from cykooz.resizer import Resizer, CpuExtensions


resizer = Resizer()
resizer.cpu_extensions = CpuExtensions.sse4_1
...

Resize with using thread-pool

from cykooz.resizer import Resizer, ResizeOptions, ResizerThreadPool


...
thread_pool = ResizerThreadPool(num_threads=6)
resizer = Resizer()
resizer.resize(
    src_image,
    dst_image,
    ResizeOptions(thread_pool=thread_pool),
)
...
