Everybody's heard about the blurred
#1
Doing some reading up on gaussian blur this evening. Here's my go at the algorithm as I understand it.

Code: (Select All)
'OldMoses' first attempt at Gaussian Blur algorithm
SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(1024, 512, 32)
b& = _LOADIMAGE("bird sample.jpg", 32)
r& = _NEWIMAGE(_WIDTH(b&), _HEIGHT(b&), 32)

'seeding matrix  (7:1) x (1:7)
DIM a%(-3 TO 3)
a%(-3) = 1: a%(-2) = 2: a%(-1) = 4: a%(0) = 8: a%(1) = 4: a%(2) = 2: a%(3) = 1

'alpha multiplier matrix kernel (7:7)
DIM kern%(LBOUND(a%) TO UBOUND(a%), LBOUND(a%) TO UBOUND(a%))
FOR x% = LBOUND(kern%, 1) TO UBOUND(kern%, 1) '                 iterate kernel matrix columns
    FOR y% = LBOUND(kern%, 2) TO UBOUND(kern%, 2) '             iterate kernel matrix rows
        kern%(x%, y%) = a%(x%) * a%(y%) '                       seed the gaussian kernel position
NEXT y%, x%
mult! = 255 / kern%(0, 0) '                                     set a multiplier to prevent alpha bleed through

'display clear image, create and display blurred image
_PUTIMAGE (1, 1), b& '                                          place clear bird image on left of mainscreen
FOR ox% = 0 TO _WIDTH(b&) - 1 '
    FOR oy% = 0 TO _HEIGHT(b&) - 1 '
        _SOURCE b& '                                            source: clear bird image
        c~& = POINT(ox%, oy%) '                                 get source pixel color at (ox%, oy%)
        _DEST r& '                                              destination: blurred receiving image
        FOR x% = LBOUND(kern%, 1) TO UBOUND(kern%, 1) '         apply the alpha matrix around original point
            FOR y% = LBOUND(kern%, 2) TO UBOUND(kern%, 2)
                PSET (ox% + x%, oy% + y%), _RGBA32(_RED32(c~&), _GREEN32(c~&), _BLUE32(c~&), mult! * kern%(x%, y%))
        NEXT y%, x%
NEXT oy%, ox%
_DEST 0 '                                                       destination back to mainscreen
_PUTIMAGE (_WIDTH(0) - _WIDTH(r&) - 2, 1), r& '                 place blurred receiving image on right of mainscreen
END

Hey @OldMoses!  Nice.  Ha - we were making the same thing tonight.  Mine is a lot slower than yours though. I won't post it and embarrass myself. Big Grin

Thanks for sharing.

Can you get an algo that goes the other way? I see enough blur already.

Nice Function, Terry.  The _MEM stuff sure makes a speed increase.  I think I will try to incorporate _MEM in mine to see how much faster it can get.  Well, here's what I came up with after studying sources in other languages.  This one let's you define the radius, higher values make it slower.

For t = 1 To 1000
    size = Rnd * 255
    x = Rnd * _Width: y = Rnd * _Height
    Line (x, y)-(x + size, y + size), _RGB(Rnd * 255, Rnd * 255, Rnd * 255), BF
Next
For t = 1 To 50000
    PSet (Rnd * _Width, Rnd * _Height), _RGB(Rnd * 255, Rnd * 255, Rnd * 255)
Next

    origsource& = _Source
    origdest& = _Dest

The reason to use that combo was at the time of writing my image processing library _COPYIMAGE had a bug in conjunction with _MEMIMAGE. It simply also copied the memory lock esteblished by _MEMIMAGE to the new image. This caused a problem when you _FREEIMAGEed either the original/copied image and after that freeing the other one. Because both images shared the same memory lock, which was freed with the first image, you cause a module error when freing the second one and the memory lock did no longer exist. The _NEWIMAGE/_PUTIMAGE combo was a safe workaround, however _COPYIMAGE has been fixed in QB64 v1.4

To be clear the function I posted is a rework of @RhoSigma 's work. The _MEM routines were simply copied from his code.

I was wondering why _COPYIMAGE was not used in favor of _PUTIMAGE when I was reworking the code. I'll make that change then. Thanks for the information.

By the way, your libraries are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for sharing them. It wasn't until I needed your image processing library that I started snooping around in the rest of your libraries. Good stuff!

Yep, the ApplyFilter&() function of my imageprocess.bm library has also some "sharpen" filters as well as line/edge detect filters and some artistic ones.
