How to convert Colorful PNG image to Gray-scale?
The Decode function decodes an image that has been encoded in a registered format. RGBA is an in-memory image whose At method returns color.RGBA values.
Example
package main
import (
"image"
"image/color"
"image/png"
"math"
"log"
"os"
)
func main() {
filename := "pokeball.png"
infile, err := os.Open(filename)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("failed opening %s: %s", filename, err)
panic(err.Error())
}
defer infile.Close()
imgSrc, _, err := image.Decode(infile)
if err != nil {
panic(err.Error())
}
// Create a new grayscale image
bounds := imgSrc.Bounds()
w, h := bounds.Max.X, bounds.Max.Y
grayScale := image.NewGray(image.Rectangle{image.Point{0, 0}, image.Point{w, h}})
for x := 0; x < w; x++ {
for y := 0; y < h; y++ {
imageColor := imgSrc.At(x, y)
rr, gg, bb, _ := imageColor.RGBA()
r := math.Pow(float64(rr), 2.2)
g := math.Pow(float64(gg), 2.2)
b := math.Pow(float64(bb), 2.2)
m := math.Pow(0.2125*r+0.7154*g+0.0721*b, 1/2.2)
Y := uint16(m + 0.5)
grayColor := color.Gray{uint8(Y >> 8)}
grayScale.Set(x, y, grayColor)
}
}
// Encode the grayscale image to the new file
newFileName := "grayscale.png"
newfile, err := os.Create(newFileName)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("failed creating %s: %s", newfile, err)
panic(err.Error())
}
defer newfile.Close()
png.Encode(newfile,grayScale)
}
