I am writing an Run Length Image Encoder for an assignment. My code works very well for binary and 8 bit images but when I want to encode an 4 bit image it doesn't work correctly. I am using Ubuntu 13.10, Python 3.3.4 and Pillow. Executing following code should print True
and True
but it prints True
and False
.
To test my code I generate random list to simulate an image. It works, first value presents it, but this image is not working. There is 4 more image like this but none of them works. Am I missing some point?
from PIL import Image
import random
def _encodeImage4bit(imagePixels, width, height):
encodedImage = bytearray()
count = 0
prev = imagePixels[0]
tempmap = ""
for pixel in imagePixels:
if count >= 15:
encodedImage.append(15)
encodedImage.append(pixel)
tempmap += "1"
tempmap += "0"
count = 0
if pixel == prev:
count += 1
else:
if count > 1:
encodedImage.append(count)
tempmap += "1"
encodedImage.append(prev)
tempmap += "0"
count = 1
prev = pixel
if count > 1:
encodedImage.append(count)
tempmap += "1"
encodedImage.append(prev)
tempmap += "0"
encodedImage.extend([0] * _remaining(len(encodedImage)))
tempmap += "1"*_remaining(len(tempmap))
encodedImage = _set4bitMap(tempmap, encodedImage)
return encodedImage
def _set4bitMap(imgMap, encodedImage):
newImgMap = _divideByRow(imgMap, 8)
tempImg = [_merge4bitTo8bit(encodedImage[i], encodedImage[i + 1]) for i in range(0, len(encodedImage), 2)]
tempImg = _divideByRow(list(tempImg), 4)
return bytearray(_flattenListOfList(_mergeMap(tempImg, newImgMap)))
def _decodeImage4bit(encodedImage, width, height):
decodedImage = []
imgMap, encImg = _get4bitMap(encodedImage)
for index, i in enumerate(imgMap):
if i == '1' and encImg[index] == 0:
break
if i == '1':
decodedImage.extend([encImg[index + 1]] * encImg[index])
elif imgMap[index - 1] != '1' or index == 0:
decodedImage.append(encImg[index])
return decodedImage
def _get4bitMap(encodedImage):
imgMap = ""
newEncodedImage = list(encodedImage)
I = range(0, len(newEncodedImage), 5)
for i in I:
imgMap += '{0:08b}'.format(newEncodedImage[i])
for i in sorted(list(I), reverse = True):
del newEncodedImage[i]
newEncodedImage = _flattenListOfList([_split8bitTo4bit(i) for i in newEncodedImage])
return (imgMap, newEncodedImage)
def _split8bitTo4bit(eightbit):
leftmask = 240
rightmask = 15
left = (eightbit & leftmask) >> 4
right = eightbit & rightmask
return (left, right)
def _merge4bitTo8bit(left, right):
return (left << 4) | right
_remaining = lambda x, y = 8: 0 if x % y == 0 else y - (x % y)
_mergeMap = lambda z, x:[[int(x[index], 2)] + i for index, i in enumerate(z)]
_flattenListOfList = lambda flat:[item for sublist in flat for item in sublist]
_divideByRow = lambda flat, size: [flat[i:i + size] for i in range(0, len(flat), size)]
if __name__ == "__main__":
img = [15] * 100
img.extend([random.randrange(0, 16) for n in range(300)])
encImg = _encodeImage4bit(img, 20, 20)
decImg = _decodeImage4bit(encImg, 20, 20)
print(str(decImg == img))
imgpath = "../../images/4bit/baboon_4bit.bmp"
img2 = Image.open(imgpath)
encImg2 = _encodeImage4bit(list(img2.getdata(0)), img2.size[0], img2.size[1])

Again, one bit is devoted to each byte to indicate whether the byte contains a grayscale value or a count. This time, however, these extra bits are accumulated in groups of 8, and each group is written on the output stream preceding (or following) the 8 bytes it “corresponds to.”
I changed it to support 4 bit images.
Example Original image: 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 14, 3, 7, 10,10, 10, 10, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 1, . . .
First step: Find repetitions 9, 12, 14, 3, 7, 4, 10, 6, 5, 1, . . .
Second step: Generate map to identify which element is pixel value(0), which is repetition number(1) 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 . . .
Third step: Fill values with zero to make length a multiple of eight. Fill map with one to make length of multiple of eight.
Fourth step: Divide map to pieces of eight and convert every piece to integer. 133, . . .
Fifth step: Couple every two 4 bit to make one eight bit. Shift left value to left 4 times and OR it with right number. 156, 227, 116, 166, 81, . . .
Sixth step: Merge map with values. Every integer number in map now presents 4 values in values. 133, 156, 227, 116, 166, . . .
Decoding is reverse of this operation.
I found my problem. If repetations reachs to 15, it adds extra value to list. To prevent this I changed my code to this.
for pixel in imagePixels:
if count >= 15:
encodedImage.append(15)
encodedImage.append(prev) #changed line
tempmap += "1"
tempmap += "0"
count = 0
prev = pixel #new line
