Imaging

This Repository is forked from disintegration/imaging. The reason why I forked it is that the original version has been slowly updated. This repository makes bug fixes and multi-platforming.

Package imaging provides basic image processing functions (resize, rotate, crop, brightness/contrast adjustments, etc.).

All the image processing functions provided by the package accept any image type that implements image.Image interface as an input, and return a new image of *image.NRGBA type (32bit RGBA colors, non-premultiplied alpha).

Support OS / Go version

The following platforms and go versions have been unit tested.

• Linux
• Mac
• Windows
• Go ver 1.16 to 1.20

Usage examples

A few usage examples can be found below. See the documentation for the full list of supported functions.

Sample command: gina

As a sample implementation of the nao1215/imaging package, I have prepared the gina command.

Image resizing

// Resize srcImage to size = 128x128px using the Lanczos filter.
dstImage128 := imaging.Resize(srcImage, 128, 128, imaging.Lanczos)

// Resize srcImage to width = 800px preserving the aspect ratio.
dstImage800 := imaging.Resize(srcImage, 800, 0, imaging.Lanczos)

// Scale down srcImage to fit the 800x600px bounding box.
dstImageFit := imaging.Fit(srcImage, 800, 600, imaging.Lanczos)

// Resize and crop the srcImage to fill the 100x100px area.
dstImageFill := imaging.Fill(srcImage, 100, 100, imaging.Center, imaging.Lanczos)

Imaging supports image resizing using various resampling filters. The most notable ones:

• Lanczos - A high-quality resampling filter for photographic images yielding sharp results.
• CatmullRom - A sharp cubic filter that is faster than Lanczos filter while providing similar results.
• MitchellNetravali - A cubic filter that produces smoother results with less ringing artifacts than CatmullRom.
• Linear - Bilinear resampling filter, produces smooth output. Faster than cubic filters.
• Box - Simple and fast averaging filter appropriate for downscaling. When upscaling it's similar to NearestNeighbor.
• NearestNeighbor - Fastest resampling filter, no antialiasing.

The full list of supported filters: NearestNeighbor, Box, Linear, Hermite, MitchellNetravali, CatmullRom, BSpline, Gaussian, Lanczos, Hann, Hamming, Blackman, Bartlett, Welch, Cosine. Custom filters can be created using ResampleFilter struct.

Resampling filters comparison

Original image:

The same image resized from 600x400px to 150x100px using different resampling filters. From faster (lower quality) to slower (higher quality):

Filter	Resize result
imaging.NearestNeighbor
imaging.Linear
imaging.CatmullRom
imaging.Lanczos

Gaussian Blur

dstImage := imaging.Blur(srcImage, 0.5)

Sigma parameter allows to control the strength of the blurring effect.

Original image	Sigma = 0.5	Sigma = 1.5

Sharpening

dstImage := imaging.Sharpen(srcImage, 0.5)

Sharpen uses gaussian function internally. Sigma parameter allows to control the strength of the sharpening effect.

Original image	Sigma = 0.5	Sigma = 1.5

Gamma correction

dstImage := imaging.AdjustGamma(srcImage, 0.75)

Original image	Gamma = 0.75	Gamma = 1.25

Contrast adjustment

dstImage := imaging.AdjustContrast(srcImage, 20)

Original image	Contrast = 15	Contrast = -15

Brightness adjustment

dstImage := imaging.AdjustBrightness(srcImage, 20)

Original image	Brightness = 10	Brightness = -10

Saturation adjustment

dstImage := imaging.AdjustSaturation(srcImage, 20)

Original image	Saturation = 30	Saturation = -30

Hue adjustment

dstImage := imaging.AdjustHue(srcImage, 20)

Original image	Hue = 60	Hue = -60

FAQ

Incorrect image orientation after processing (e.g. an image appears rotated after resizing)

Most probably, the given image contains the EXIF orientation tag. The standard image/* packages do not support loading and saving this kind of information. To fix the issue, try opening images with the AutoOrientation decode option. If this option is set to true, the image orientation is changed after decoding, according to the orientation tag (if present). Here's the example:

img, err := imaging.Open("test.jpg", imaging.AutoOrientation(true))

Example code

package main

import (
	"image"
	"image/color"
	"log"

	"github.com/nao1215/imaging"
)

func main() {
	// Open a test image.
	src, err := imaging.Open("testdata/flowers.png")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to open image: %v", err)
	}

	// Crop the original image to 300x300px size using the center anchor.
	src = imaging.CropAnchor(src, 300, 300, imaging.Center)

	// Resize the cropped image to width = 200px preserving the aspect ratio.
	src = imaging.Resize(src, 200, 0, imaging.Lanczos)

	// Create a blurred version of the image.
	img1 := imaging.Blur(src, 5)

	// Create a grayscale version of the image with higher contrast and sharpness.
	img2 := imaging.Grayscale(src)
	img2 = imaging.AdjustContrast(img2, 20)
	img2 = imaging.Sharpen(img2, 2)

	// Create an inverted version of the image.
	img3 := imaging.Invert(src)

	// Create an embossed version of the image using a convolution filter.
	img4 := imaging.Convolve3x3(
		src,
		[9]float64{
			-1, -1, 0,
			-1, 1, 1,
			0, 1, 1,
		},
		nil,
	)

	// Create a new image and paste the four produced images into it.
	dst := imaging.New(400, 400, color.NRGBA{0, 0, 0, 0})
	dst = imaging.Paste(dst, img1, image.Pt(0, 0))
	dst = imaging.Paste(dst, img2, image.Pt(0, 200))
	dst = imaging.Paste(dst, img3, image.Pt(200, 0))
	dst = imaging.Paste(dst, img4, image.Pt(200, 200))

	// Save the resulting image as JPEG.
	err = imaging.Save(dst, "testdata/out_example.jpg")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to save image: %v", err)
	}
}
