Setup

Make sure you have Python 3.6.x (or higher). You can download it here.

Installation

pip install pixelator

Getting Started

Import the pixelator into your project

from pixelator import Pixelator

Some important notes:

• All data is stored and processed as BGR (to match open cv2)
  • EG: Provided pallettes should be in BGR

Examples

Load from a file:

from pixelator import Pixelator
# Use the input filename provided
image = Pixelator(filename='./images/input.jpg')
# Pixelate the image to a 28x28 black and white array
pixelated_image = image.pixelate(
    width=28,
    height=28,
    palette=[[0,0,0],[255,255,255]]
)
# Write to `output.png` scaled up to a 300x300 image (to be easily viewed)
pixelated_image.write(filename='./images/output_test_1.jpg', width=300, height=300)

Input:

Output:

Capture from a webcam:

from pixelator import Pixelator
# Capture from a webcam since no data or filename is provided
image = Pixelator()

# Pixelate the image to a 64x64 black, white and multiple gray array
pixelated_image = image.pixelate(
    width=64,
    height=64,
    palette=[[0,0,0],[80,80,80],[160,160,160],[200,200,200],[255,255,255]]
)
# Write to `output.png` scaled up to a 500x500 image (to be easily viewed)
pixelated_image.write(filename='./images/output_test_3.jpg', width=300, height=300)

Access Pixelator Data:

from pixelator import Pixelator
# Use the input filename provided
image = Pixelator(filename='./images/input.jpg')
# Pixelate the image to a 28x28 black and white array
pixelated_image = image.pixelate(
    width=28,
    height=28,
    palette=[[0,0,0],[255,255,255]]
)
# Show pixelated image data
print(pixelated_image.data)
# Show Color Counts:
print(pixelated_image.get_color_counts())
