将图像转换为灰度

Question

我试图通过以下方式将图像转换为灰度：

#define bytesPerPixel 4
#define bitsPerComponent 8

-(unsigned char*) getBytesForImage: (UIImage*)pImage
{
    CGImageRef image = [pImage CGImage];
    NSUInteger width = CGImageGetWidth(image);
    NSUInteger height = CGImageGetHeight(image);

    NSUInteger bytesPerRow = bytesPerPixel * width;

    CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
    unsigned char *rawData = malloc(height * width * 4);
    CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(rawData, width, height, bitsPerComponent, bytesPerRow, colorSpace, kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast | kCGBitmapByteOrder32Big);
    CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);

    CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height), image);
    CGContextRelease(context);

    return rawData;
}

-(UIImage*) processImage: (UIImage*)pImage
{   
    DebugLog(@"processing image");
    unsigned char *rawData = [self getBytesForImage: pImage];

    NSUInteger width = pImage.size.width;
    NSUInteger height = pImage.size.height;

    DebugLog(@"width: %d", width);
    DebugLog(@"height: %d", height);

    NSUInteger bytesPerRow = bytesPerPixel * width;

    for (int xCoordinate = 0; xCoordinate < width; xCoordinate++)
    {
        for (int yCoordinate = 0; yCoordinate < height; yCoordinate++)
        {
            int byteIndex = (bytesPerRow * yCoordinate) + xCoordinate * bytesPerPixel;

            //Getting original colors
            float red = ( rawData[byteIndex] / 255.f );
            float green = ( rawData[byteIndex + 1] / 255.f );
            float blue = ( rawData[byteIndex + 2] / 255.f );

            //Processing pixel data
            float averageColor = (red + green + blue) / 3.0f;

            red = averageColor;
            green = averageColor;
            blue = averageColor;

            //Assigning new color components
            rawData[byteIndex] = (unsigned char) red * 255;
            rawData[byteIndex + 1] = (unsigned char) green * 255;
            rawData[byteIndex + 2] = (unsigned char) blue * 255;


        }
    }

    NSData* newPixelData = [NSData dataWithBytes: rawData length: height * width * 4];
    UIImage* newImage = [UIImage imageWithData: newPixelData];

    free(rawData);

    DebugLog(@"image processed");

    return newImage;

}

因此，当我想转换图像时，我只需要调用processImage：

imageToDisplay.image = [self processImage: image];

但是不显示imageToDisplay。可能是什么问题？

感谢。

我需要一个保留alpha通道的版本，所以我修改了Dutchie432发布的代码：

@implementation UIImage (grayscale)

typedef enum {
    ALPHA = 0,
    BLUE = 1,
    GREEN = 2,
    RED = 3
} PIXELS;

- (UIImage *)convertToGrayscale {
    CGSize size = [self size];
    int width = size.width;
    int height = size.height;

    // the pixels will be painted to this array
    uint32_t *pixels = (uint32_t *) malloc(width * height * sizeof(uint32_t));

    // clear the pixels so any transparency is preserved
    memset(pixels, 0, width * height * sizeof(uint32_t));

    CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();

    // create a context with RGBA pixels
    CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(pixels, width, height, 8, width * sizeof(uint32_t), colorSpace, 
                                                 kCGBitmapByteOrder32Little | kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast);

    // paint the bitmap to our context which will fill in the pixels array
    CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height), [self CGImage]);

    for(int y = 0; y < height; y++) {
        for(int x = 0; x < width; x++) {
            uint8_t *rgbaPixel = (uint8_t *) &pixels[y * width + x];

            // convert to grayscale using recommended method: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grayscale#Converting_color_to_grayscale
            uint32_t gray = 0.3 * rgbaPixel[RED] + 0.59 * rgbaPixel[GREEN] + 0.11 * rgbaPixel[BLUE];

            // set the pixels to gray
            rgbaPixel[RED] = gray;
            rgbaPixel[GREEN] = gray;
            rgbaPixel[BLUE] = gray;
        }
    }

    // create a new CGImageRef from our context with the modified pixels
    CGImageRef image = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(context);

    // we're done with the context, color space, and pixels
    CGContextRelease(context);
    CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
    free(pixels);

    // make a new UIImage to return
    UIImage *resultUIImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:image];

    // we're done with image now too
    CGImageRelease(image);

    return resultUIImage;
}

@end

Answer 2

这是仅使用UIKit和光度混合模式的代码。有点黑客，但效果很好。

// Transform the image in grayscale.
- (UIImage*) grayishImage: (UIImage*) inputImage {

    // Create a graphic context.
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(inputImage.size, YES, 1.0);
    CGRect imageRect = CGRectMake(0, 0, inputImage.size.width, inputImage.size.height);

    // Draw the image with the luminosity blend mode.
    // On top of a white background, this will give a black and white image.
    [inputImage drawInRect:imageRect blendMode:kCGBlendModeLuminosity alpha:1.0];

    // Get the resulting image.
    UIImage *filteredImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    return filteredImage;

}

为了保持透明度，您可以将opaque的{​​{1}}模式参数设置为UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions。需要检查。

Answer 3

基于Cam的代码，能够处理Retina显示器的比例。

- (UIImage *) toGrayscale 
{
    const int RED = 1;
    const int GREEN = 2;
    const int BLUE = 3;

    // Create image rectangle with current image width/height
    CGRect imageRect = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.size.width * self.scale, self.size.height * self.scale);

    int width = imageRect.size.width;
    int height = imageRect.size.height;

    // the pixels will be painted to this array
    uint32_t *pixels = (uint32_t *) malloc(width * height * sizeof(uint32_t));

    // clear the pixels so any transparency is preserved
    memset(pixels, 0, width * height * sizeof(uint32_t));

    CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();

    // create a context with RGBA pixels
    CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(pixels, width, height, 8, width * sizeof(uint32_t), colorSpace, 
                                                 kCGBitmapByteOrder32Little | kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast);

    // paint the bitmap to our context which will fill in the pixels array
    CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height), [self CGImage]);

    for(int y = 0; y < height; y++) {
        for(int x = 0; x < width; x++) {
            uint8_t *rgbaPixel = (uint8_t *) &pixels[y * width + x];

            // convert to grayscale using recommended method: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grayscale#Converting_color_to_grayscale
            uint8_t gray = (uint8_t) ((30 * rgbaPixel[RED] + 59 * rgbaPixel[GREEN] + 11 * rgbaPixel[BLUE]) / 100); 

            // set the pixels to gray
            rgbaPixel[RED] = gray;
            rgbaPixel[GREEN] = gray;
            rgbaPixel[BLUE] = gray;
        }
    }

    // create a new CGImageRef from our context with the modified pixels
    CGImageRef image = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(context);

    // we're done with the context, color space, and pixels
    CGContextRelease(context);
    CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
    free(pixels);

    // make a new UIImage to return
    UIImage *resultUIImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:image
                                                 scale:self.scale 
                                           orientation:UIImageOrientationUp];

    // we're done with image now too
    CGImageRelease(image);

    return resultUIImage;
}

Answer 4

我喜欢Mathieu Godart的答案，但它似乎不适用于视网膜或阿尔法图像。这是一个更新版本，似乎适用于我的两个：

- (UIImage*)convertToGrayscale
{
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, NO, self.scale);
    CGRect imageRect = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, self.size.width, self.size.height);

    CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    // Draw a white background
    CGContextSetRGBFillColor(ctx, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
    CGContextFillRect(ctx, imageRect);

    // Draw the luminosity on top of the white background to get grayscale
    [self drawInRect:imageRect blendMode:kCGBlendModeLuminosity alpha:1.0f];

    // Apply the source image's alpha
    [self drawInRect:imageRect blendMode:kCGBlendModeDestinationIn alpha:1.0f];

    UIImage* grayscaleImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    return grayscaleImage;
}

Answer 5

使用此功能时究竟发生了什么？函数是否返回无效图像，或显示器未正确显示？

这是我用来转换为灰度的方法。

- (UIImage *) convertToGreyscale:(UIImage *)i {

    int kRed = 1;
    int kGreen = 2;
    int kBlue = 4;

    int colors = kGreen | kBlue | kRed;
    int m_width = i.size.width;
    int m_height = i.size.height;

    uint32_t *rgbImage = (uint32_t *) malloc(m_width * m_height * sizeof(uint32_t));
    CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
    CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(rgbImage, m_width, m_height, 8, m_width * 4, colorSpace, kCGBitmapByteOrder32Little | kCGImageAlphaNoneSkipLast);
    CGContextSetInterpolationQuality(context, kCGInterpolationHigh);
    CGContextSetShouldAntialias(context, NO);
    CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(0, 0, m_width, m_height), [i CGImage]);
    CGContextRelease(context);
    CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);

    // now convert to grayscale
    uint8_t *m_imageData = (uint8_t *) malloc(m_width * m_height);
    for(int y = 0; y < m_height; y++) {
        for(int x = 0; x < m_width; x++) {
            uint32_t rgbPixel=rgbImage[y*m_width+x];
            uint32_t sum=0,count=0;
            if (colors & kRed) {sum += (rgbPixel>>24)&255; count++;}
            if (colors & kGreen) {sum += (rgbPixel>>16)&255; count++;}
            if (colors & kBlue) {sum += (rgbPixel>>8)&255; count++;}
            m_imageData[y*m_width+x]=sum/count;
        }
    }
    free(rgbImage);

    // convert from a gray scale image back into a UIImage
    uint8_t *result = (uint8_t *) calloc(m_width * m_height *sizeof(uint32_t), 1);

    // process the image back to rgb
    for(int i = 0; i < m_height * m_width; i++) {
        result[i*4]=0;
        int val=m_imageData[i];
        result[i*4+1]=val;
        result[i*4+2]=val;
        result[i*4+3]=val;
    }

    // create a UIImage
    colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
    context = CGBitmapContextCreate(result, m_width, m_height, 8, m_width * sizeof(uint32_t), colorSpace, kCGBitmapByteOrder32Little | kCGImageAlphaNoneSkipLast);
    CGImageRef image = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(context);
    CGContextRelease(context);
    CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
    UIImage *resultUIImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:image];
    CGImageRelease(image);

    free(m_imageData);

    // make sure the data will be released by giving it to an autoreleased NSData
    [NSData dataWithBytesNoCopy:result length:m_width * m_height];

    return resultUIImage;
}

Answer 6

使用CIFilter的不同方法。保留Alpha通道并使用透明背景：

+ (UIImage *)convertImageToGrayScale:(UIImage *)image
{
    CIImage *inputImage = [CIImage imageWithCGImage:image.CGImage];
    CIContext *context = [CIContext contextWithOptions:nil];

    CIFilter *filter = [CIFilter filterWithName:@"CIColorControls"];
    [filter setValue:inputImage forKey:kCIInputImageKey];
    [filter setValue:@(0.0) forKey:kCIInputSaturationKey];

    CIImage *outputImage = filter.outputImage;

    CGImageRef cgImageRef = [context createCGImage:outputImage fromRect:outputImage.extent];

    UIImage *result = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:cgImageRef];
    CGImageRelease(cgImageRef);

    return result;

}

Answer 7

快速扩展到UIImage，保留alpha：

extension UIImage {

    private func convertToGrayScaleNoAlpha() -> CGImageRef {
        let colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceGray();
        let bitmapInfo = CGBitmapInfo(CGImageAlphaInfo.None.rawValue)
        let context = CGBitmapContextCreate(nil, UInt(size.width), UInt(size.height), 8, 0, colorSpace, bitmapInfo)
        CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(0, 0, size.width, size.height), self.CGImage)
        return CGBitmapContextCreateImage(context)
    }


    /**
        Return a new image in shades of gray + alpha
    */
     func convertToGrayScale() -> UIImage {
        let bitmapInfo = CGBitmapInfo(CGImageAlphaInfo.Only.rawValue)
        let context = CGBitmapContextCreate(nil, UInt(size.width), UInt(size.height), 8, 0, nil, bitmapInfo)
        CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(0, 0, size.width, size.height), self.CGImage);
        let mask = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(context)
        return UIImage(CGImage: CGImageCreateWithMask(convertToGrayScaleNoAlpha(), mask), scale: scale, orientation:imageOrientation)!
    }
}

Answer 8

这是另一个很好的解决方案，作为UIImage上的类别方法。它基于this博客文章及其评论。但我在这里解决了一个记忆问题：

- (UIImage *)grayScaleImage {
    // Create image rectangle with current image width/height
    CGRect imageRect = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.size.width * self.scale, self.size.height * self.scale);
    // Grayscale color space
    CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceGray();
    // Create bitmap content with current image size and grayscale colorspace
    CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(nil, self.size.width * self.scale, self.size.height * self.scale, 8, 0, colorSpace, kCGImageAlphaNone);
    // Draw image into current context, with specified rectangle
    // using previously defined context (with grayscale colorspace)
    CGContextDrawImage(context, imageRect, [self CGImage]);
    // Create bitmap image info from pixel data in current context
    CGImageRef grayImage = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(context);
    // release the colorspace and graphics context
    CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
    CGContextRelease(context);
    // make a new alpha-only graphics context
    context = CGBitmapContextCreate(nil, self.size.width * self.scale, self.size.height * self.scale, 8, 0, nil, kCGImageAlphaOnly);
    // draw image into context with no colorspace
    CGContextDrawImage(context, imageRect, [self CGImage]);
    // create alpha bitmap mask from current context
    CGImageRef mask = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(context);
    // release graphics context
    CGContextRelease(context);
    // make UIImage from grayscale image with alpha mask
    CGImageRef cgImage = CGImageCreateWithMask(grayImage, mask);
    UIImage *grayScaleImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:cgImage scale:self.scale orientation:self.imageOrientation];
    // release the CG images
CGImageRelease(cgImage);
    CGImageRelease(grayImage);
    CGImageRelease(mask);
    // return the new grayscale image
    return grayScaleImage;
}

Answer 9

适用于iOS 9/10的快速高效的Swift 3实现。我觉得这是有效率的，现在尝试了每次处理100个图像的每种图像过滤方法（使用下载时） AlamofireImage的ImageFilter选项）。在内存和速度方面，我认为这种方法比我尝试过的任何其他方法（对于我的用例）更好。

func convertToGrayscale() -> UIImage? {

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, false, self.scale)
    let imageRect = CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: self.size.width, height: self.size.height)
    let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()

    // Draw a white background
    context!.setFillColor(red: 1.0, green: 1.0, blue: 1.0, alpha: 1.0)
    context!.fill(imageRect)

    // optional: increase contrast with colorDodge before applying luminosity 
    // (my images were too dark when using just luminosity - you may not need this)
    self.draw(in: imageRect, blendMode: CGBlendMode.colorDodge, alpha: 0.7)


    // Draw the luminosity on top of the white background to get grayscale of original image
    self.draw(in: imageRect, blendMode: CGBlendMode.luminosity, alpha: 0.90)

    // optional: re-apply alpha if your image has transparency - based on user1978534's answer (I haven't tested this as I didn't have transparency - I just know this would be the the syntax)
    // self.draw(in: imageRect, blendMode: CGBlendMode.destinationIn, alpha: 1.0)

    let grayscaleImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    return grayscaleImage
}

重新使用colorDodge：我最初遇到的问题是让我的图像足够亮以匹配使用CIFilter（“CIPhotoEffectTonal”）产生的灰度色 - 我的结果太暗了。我通过应用CGBlendMode.colorDodge @ ~0.7 alpha得到了一个不错的匹配，这似乎增加了整体对比度。

其他颜色混合效果也可能有用 - 但我认为你想在发光度之前应用，这是灰度过滤效果。 I found this page very helpful to reference about the different BlendModes

我发现效率提升：我需要处理100个缩略图，因为它们是从服务器加载的（使用AlamofireImage进行异步加载，缓存和应用过滤器）。当我的图像总大小超过缓存大小时，我开始遇到崩溃，所以我尝试了其他方法。

基于CoreImage CPU的CIFilter方法是我尝试的第一种方法，并且对于我正在处理的图像数量而言，内存效率不够。

我还尝试使用EAGLContext(api: .openGLES3)通过GPU应用CIFilter，这实际上是更加占用内存的 - 我实际上在加载200 +图像时获得了450+ mb的内存警告。

我尝试了位图处理（即CGContext(data: nil, width: width, height: height, bitsPerComponent: 8, bytesPerRow: 0, space: colorSpace, bitmapInfo: CGImageAlphaInfo.none.rawValue) ...除了我无法获得足够高分辨率的现代视网膜设备之外，效果很好。即使添加context.scaleBy(x: scaleFactor, y: scaleFactor)，图像也非常粗糙。

因此，在我尝试的所有内容中，当将此过滤器应用于AlamofireImage时，此方法（UIGraphics Context Draw）的速度和内存效率更高。就像在处理我的200多张图像时看到不到70 mbs ram并且它们基本上立即加载，而不是使用openEAGL方法花费超过35秒。我知道这些不是非常科学的基准。如果有人非常好奇，我会检测它：）

最后，如果你确实需要将这个或另一个灰度过滤器传递给AlamofireImage - 这是怎么做的:(注意你必须将AlamofireImage导入你的类才能使用ImageFilter）

public struct GrayScaleFilter: ImageFilter {
    public init() {
    }

    public var filter: (UIImage) -> UIImage {
        return { image in
            return image.convertToGrayscale() ?? image
        }
    }
}

要使用它，请像这样创建过滤器并传递到af_setImage，如下所示：

let filter = GrayScaleFilter()
imageView.af_setImage(withURL: url, filter: filter)

    // Release colorspace, context and bitmap information
    CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
    CGContextRelease(context);
    CFRelease(imageRef);

    // Return the new grayscale image
    self.image = newImage;
}

@end

Answer 11

我还有另一个答案。这个非常高效，处理视网膜图形和透明度。它扩展了Sargis Gevorgyan的方法：

+ (UIImage*) grayScaleFromImage:(UIImage*)image opaque:(BOOL)opaque
{
// NSTimeInterval start = [NSDate timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate];

CGSize size = image.size;

CGRect bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, size.width, size.height);

// Create bitmap content with current image size and grayscale colorspace
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceGray();
size_t bitsPerComponent = 8;
size_t bytesPerPixel = opaque ? 1 : 2;
size_t bytesPerRow = bytesPerPixel * size.width * image.scale;
CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(nil, size.width, size.height, bitsPerComponent, bytesPerRow, colorSpace, opaque ? kCGImageAlphaNone : kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast);

// create image from bitmap
CGContextDrawImage(context, bounds, image.CGImage);
CGImageRef cgImage = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(context);
UIImage* result = [[UIImage alloc] initWithCGImage:cgImage scale:image.scale orientation:UIImageOrientationUp];
CGImageRelease(cgImage);
CGContextRelease(context);

// performance results on iPhone 6S+ in Release mode.
// Results are in photo pixels, not device pixels:
//  ~ 5ms for 500px x 600px
//  ~ 15ms for 2200px x 600px
// NSLog(@"generating %d x %d @ %dx grayscale took %f seconds", (int)size.width, (int)size.height, (int)image.scale, [NSDate timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate] - start);

return result;
}

使用混合模式非常优雅，但复制到灰度位图的效果更高，因为您只使用一个或两个颜色通道而不是四个。不透明度bool用于获取UIView的不透明标记，因此如果您知道不需要Alpha通道，则可以选择不使用Alpha通道。

我没有在这个答案帖子中尝试过基于Core Image的解决方案，但如果性能很重要，我会非常谨慎地使用Core Image。

Answer 12

这是我尝试通过直接绘制到没有每个像素枚举的灰度色彩空间来快速转换。它的工作速度比CIImageFilter解决方案快10倍。

@implementation UIImage (Grayscale)

static UIImage *grayscaleImageFromCIImage(CIImage *image, CGFloat scale)
{
    CIImage *blackAndWhite = [CIFilter filterWithName:@"CIColorControls" keysAndValues:kCIInputImageKey, image, kCIInputBrightnessKey, @0.0, kCIInputContrastKey, @1.1, kCIInputSaturationKey, @0.0, nil].outputImage;
    CIImage *output = [CIFilter filterWithName:@"CIExposureAdjust" keysAndValues:kCIInputImageKey, blackAndWhite, kCIInputEVKey, @0.7, nil].outputImage;
    CGImageRef ref = [[CIContext contextWithOptions:nil] createCGImage:output fromRect:output.extent];
    UIImage *result = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:ref scale:scale orientation:UIImageOrientationUp];
    CGImageRelease(ref);
    return result;
}

static UIImage *grayscaleImageFromCGImage(CGImageRef imageRef, CGFloat scale)
{
    NSInteger width = CGImageGetWidth(imageRef) * scale;
    NSInteger height = CGImageGetHeight(imageRef) * scale;

    NSMutableData *pixels = [NSMutableData dataWithLength:width*height];
    CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceGray();
