Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

image-processing

This page is maintained in the package's github repository.

This is a Chicken Scheme egg with various image processing utilities.

Note that a few of these functions call ImageMagick.

Color spaces

*max-red*constant
*max-green*constant
*max-blue*constant
*max-grey*constant
*max-hue*constant
*max-saturation*constant
*max-value*constant

These are exposed in case we want to switch to 16-bit grayscale or colors.

rgb->hsv rgbprocedure
hsv->rgb hsvprocedure
rgb->cd rgbprocedure
rgb->cmyk rgbprocedure
rgb->uv-hsv cprocedure

Various color space conversions. Colors are vectors of values.

rgb->xyz cprocedure
xyz->rgb cprocedure
xyz->l*ab cprocedure
l*ab->xyz cprocedure
rgb->l*ab cprocedure
l*ab->rgb cprocedure

Convert to l*ab. Colors are vectors of values. This is space in which Euclidean distance is similar to human perceputal distance. These implement a 2 degree observer and the D65 illuminant.

rgb->html cprocedure

Not really a color space conversion, covert an rgb color to an HTML color #rrggbb.

Images

define-structure pbm raw? bitmaprecord
define-structure pgm raw? maxval greyrecord
define-structure ppm raw? maxval red green bluerecord
pnm? mprocedure

Three image formats are supported. PBMs are binary images, PGMs are greyscale and PPMs are tri-plane (nominally RGB) images. All planes are stored as scheme matrices. Together all of these formats are called PNM. This is a standard format that many tools (such browser and ImageMagick) can read and write. PNMs can be serialized as either raw packed binaries or ascii text files. Note that we are unable to read or write raw PBMs.

image-ref i pprocedure

Index into an PNM image or into a matrix. This is like indexing into a matrix except that the arguments are reversed. A matrix-ref takes the row and then the column, image-ref takes a point which is an (x,y) coordinate.

Ensure that the PBM image is in ascii. We are unable to read or write raw PBMs.
