Convert a Bitmap to GrayScale in Android
4 answers
Hi guys I need your help, I'm trying to convert color image into grayscale using the average of red, green, blue. But it comes out with errors,
Here is my code
imgWidth = myBitmap.getWidth();
imgHeight = myBitmap.getHeight();
for(int i =0;i<imgWidth;i++) {
for(int j=0;j<imgHeight;j++) {
int s = myBitmap.getPixel(i, j)/3;
myBitmap.setPixel(i, j, s);
}
}
ImageView img = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image1);
img.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);
But when I run my application on Emulator, it's force close. Any idea?
I have solved my problem use the following code:
for(int x = 0; x < width; ++x) {
for(int y = 0; y < height; ++y) {
// get one pixel color
pixel = src.getPixel(x, y);
// retrieve color of all channels
A = Color.alpha(pixel);
R = Color.red(pixel);
G = Color.green(pixel);
B = Color.blue(pixel);
// take conversion up to one single value
R = G = B = (int)(0.299 * R + 0.587 * G + 0.114 * B);
// set new pixel color to output bitmap
bmOut.setPixel(x, y, Color.argb(A, R, G, B));
}
}
You can do this too :
ColorMatrix matrix = new ColorMatrix();
matrix.setSaturation(0);
ColorMatrixColorFilter filter = new ColorMatrixColorFilter(matrix);
imageview.setColorFilter(filter);
Try the solution from this previous answer by leparlon:
public Bitmap toGrayscale(Bitmap bmpOriginal)
{
int width, height;
height = bmpOriginal.getHeight();
width = bmpOriginal.getWidth();
Bitmap bmpGrayscale = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.RGB_565);
Canvas c = new Canvas(bmpGrayscale);
Paint paint = new Paint();
ColorMatrix cm = new ColorMatrix();
cm.setSaturation(0);
ColorMatrixColorFilter f = new ColorMatrixColorFilter(cm);
paint.setColorFilter(f);
c.drawBitmap(bmpOriginal, 0, 0, paint);
return bmpGrayscale;
}
Lalit has the most practical answer. However, you wanted the resulting grey to be the average of the red, green and blue and should set up your matrix like so:
float oneThird = 1/3f;
float[] mat = new float[]{
oneThird, oneThird, oneThird, 0, 0,
oneThird, oneThird, oneThird, 0, 0,
oneThird, oneThird, oneThird, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 1, 0,};
ColorMatrixColorFilter filter = new ColorMatrixColorFilter(mat);
paint.setColorFilter(filter);
c.drawBitmap(original, 0, 0, paint);
And finally, as I have faced the problem of converting an image to grayscale before - the most visually pleasing result in all cases is achieved by not taking the average, but through giving each colour different weight depending on its percieved brightness, I tend to use these values:
float[] mat = new float[]{
0.3f, 0.59f, 0.11f, 0, 0,
0.3f, 0.59f, 0.11f, 0, 0,
0.3f, 0.59f, 0.11f, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 1, 0,};
