Images

Images are composed of pixels (pix - picture, el - element).

In a grayscale image the pixel contains the intensity. Depending on the image format this may range from 0-1, 0-255, or be any floating point number.

In a color image a pixel is (usually) a triple (red,green,blue) of color values where each color intensity ranges from 0-255 (24-bit color).

A slightly irrelevant aside

Or, how to count with 16 fingers

It is very common for RGB color values to be represented in hexadecimal (e.g., HTML).

Hexadecimal number are usually indicated with a 0x or # prefix.

In hexadecimal, each digit can take one of 16 values (as opposed to 10). This means that each color can be represented with two digits (16*16 = 256)

PIL - The Python Image Library

documentation

The Python Imaging Library provides the ability to read, write an manipulate images in all the common formats. Some key modules:

• PIL.Image - primary Image object
• PIL.ImageChops - channel operations, for blending two images
• PIL.ImageEnhance - enhance your photos (sharpness, contrast, ...)
• PIL.ImageFilter - filters (blur, smooth, sharpen, ...)
• PIL.ImageOps - assorted operations (resizing, equalize, autocontrast, ...)
• PIL.ImageStat - statistics on image (min, max, ...)

History

Despite being a popular package, PIL development stopped in 2011 with no new releases since 2009.

Pillow is a fork of PIL that is fully backwards compatible and updated (and is what you are actually using rather than the original PIL).

Image Methods

PIL refers to the different color channels as bands.

('R', 'G', 'B')

You can split a color image into it's separate bands.

Green

Blue

Converting Image Types

We can convert to grayscale ('L' - luminance)

Getting Pixels

(640, 480)

(159, 3, 18)

Setting Pixels

To get/set pixels directly, first load the pixel map of an image.

Getting all the pixels

Can convert to numpy array - first dimension (rows) will be y-axis

(480, 640, 3)

array([159,   3,  18], dtype=uint8)

Can get all the pixels in a flat list

Equalization

Equalization attempts to normalizes the image histogram to create a uniform distribution of grayscale values. This makes it easier to see differences, but distorts the meaning of the intensities (the transformation is non-linear).

Autocontrast

Maximize (normalize) image contrast. This function calculates a histogram of the input image, removes a cutoff percent of the lightest and darkest pixels from the histogram, and remaps the image so that the darkest remaining pixel becomes black (0), and the lightest becomes white (255).

Autocontrast

Thresholding

The point function can be used to apply a function to every pixel in the image and return the transformed image. This makes it easy to threshold images into a mask.

Looking at the thresholded image, any thoughts on how to count the number of cells?

Project

• How much green is there in image1 (sum of values)?
• Get the other three images from http://bits.csb.pitt.edu/images
• How much green is there that is co-located with blue > 40? As a percentage? For each image?
• What if we change the cutoff (40)?
• Plot the percentage of green co-located with blue for different values of the blue cutoff for each image.
