I have a 32x32 LED display. I want to pixelate a photo to 32x32. Can It be done? If so, how?

I want to add, Once I have 32 pixels, I want access to the RGB of each pixel, so I can send the data to the LED's. It real world, will be more like 64x64. Im thinking its kind of like converting a photo to a 64x64 Icon?

Hi Gordon

It sounds like you should resize the image to 32x32 and then read the pixels.

If it is a large image, scaling to something as small as that may create a blurry mess, so try the following demo to see what gives the best result:

Demos\Display\ZoomFilter\ZoomFilter.dpr

To read the pixels, use:

Yes, in most cases it will be very very blurry..but wanting the general outline of a photo. Can everything be done with a simple TImageEn component? Or do I need others? I assume that my photo needs to be perfectly square in pixels, or it wont scale with the right ratio?

I looked at the zoomFilter demo.. Im not wanting to zoom. I want the image area to stay the same.. I just want to change the resolution to be very pixelated 64x64 etc.

Hi

Yes, you can do this with a TImageEnView, or just a TIEBitmap using the Resample method:

ImageEnView1.Proc.Resample( 64, 64, rfNone );

https://www.imageen.com/help/TImageEnProc.Resample.html


When resampling, a Zoom Filter is typically used to improve the quality. That is why you should take a look at the ZoomFilter demo and zoom a large image out to around your desired 64x64 and see which filter works best.

I resized my image fine.. but I really need to show my modified image on a TImage (Image will be sent to a linux machine)
When I show it on a TImage with the stretch property, it uses some sort of interpolation. I want to see the pixelated version, not a smoothed one. If I turn off the AntiAliasing, it doesnt make any difference. Is there something simple Im missing?

Hi

I don't know TImage, but perhaps you could size it to TImage size in ImageEn with the desired pixelation and then display it (1:1)
