# Imago

Bindings (for my usage) to image-rs/image. Mainly because I didn't find any Elixir/Erlang library to iterate over pixels of compressed formats like Jpeg.
I'll need to at least open/process a bit/save images from rust.

At the time of this writing, it supports only those things : 
 - getting a `(w: u8, h: u8, pixels: Vec<u8>)` of r/g/b/a, rgb, or rgba pixels
 - getting a `Vec<u8>` **that represents a luminance fingerprint**.
 - filters: `threshold(path, threshold)`, `dither_bayer(path, threshold)`
 - saving something as a PGM image (mainly to check validity.)

```elixir
iex> Imago.read_pixels("/path/to/image.jpg|png|gif|ico|bmp|tiff") # Image formats are those of image-rs/image
{:ok,
 {1200, 1500, [131, 140, 157, 255, 130, 139, 156, 255, 131, 138, 156, 255, 131, 138, 156,
  255, 134, 139, 158, 255, 134, 139, 158, 255, 136, 139, 158, 255, 135, 138,

#### Luminance fingerprinting is done that way :

  {:ok, [r, g, b, a, r, g, b, a]}     

iex> Imago.read_pixels_rgb("x.jpg")
  {:ok, [r, g, b, r, g, b]}     

iex> Imago.read_pixels_red("x.jpg")
  {:ok, [r, r, r]}  

iex> Imago.read_pixels_green("x.jpg")
  {:ok, [g, g, g]}
