Apply Floyd–Steinberg dithering to an image
ResourceFunction["FloydSteinbergDithering"][image] applies Floyd–Steinberg dithering to image. | |
ResourceFunction["FloydSteinbergDithering"][image,col] use col colors per channel. | |
ResourceFunction["FloydSteinbergDithering"][image,col,err] scales the quantization error by err to control overall noise. |
| "ColorsPerChannel" | 8 | the default number of colors to use in each channel of the image |
| "PreserveSize" | False | whether to preserve the original image dimensions |
Apply dithering to an image:
| In[1]:= | ![]() |
| Out[1]= | ![]() |
Specify the number of colors per channel:
| In[2]:= |
| Out[2]= | ![]() |
| In[3]:= | ![]() |
| Out[3]= | ![]() |
Specify a different number of colors per channel for each channel:
| In[4]:= | ![]() |
| Out[4]= | ![]() |
See each channel separately:
| In[5]:= |
| Out[5]= | ![]() |
Specify the quantization error parameter to control how "noisy" the image appears:
| In[6]:= | ![]() |
| Out[6]= | ![]() |
| In[7]:= | ![]() |
| Out[7]= | ![]() |
Apply directly to an array of data:
| In[8]:= |
| Out[8]= | ![]() |
| In[9]:= |
| Out[9]= | ![]() |
| In[10]:= |
| Out[10]= | ![]() |
By default, the size of the image will be reduced by 1 on each side:
| In[11]:= | ![]() |
| Out[12]= |
| In[13]:= |
| Out[13]= | ![]() |
| In[14]:= |
| Out[14]= |
Set "PreserveSize" to True to ensure the output has the same dimensions:
| In[15]:= |
| Out[15]= | ![]() |
| In[16]:= |
| Out[16]= |
For very small images, using "PreserveSize"→False can yield better image quality:
| In[17]:= | ![]() |
| Out[18]= |
| In[19]:= |
| Out[19]= |
| In[20]:= |
| Out[20]= |
The value of the "ColorsPerChannel" option is equivalent to using the two-argument form:
| In[21]:= |
| Out[21]= | ![]() |
| In[22]:= |
| Out[22]= | ![]() |
| In[23]:= |
| Out[23]= | ![]() |
If the second argument is provided, the option specification is ignored:
| In[24]:= |
| Out[24]= | ![]() |
Use Rasterize to dither arbitrary expressions:
| In[25]:= |
| Out[25]= | ![]() |
| In[26]:= |
| Out[26]= | ![]() |
When giving a list as the second argument, it must have the same length as the number of image channels:
| In[27]:= |
| Out[27]= |
| In[28]:= |
| Out[28]= |
The colorspace of an image can significantly affect the output:
| In[29]:= | ![]() |
| Out[29]= | ![]() |
| In[30]:= |
| Out[30]= | ![]() |
When applying to an array, all values must be numeric:
| In[31]:= |
| Out[31]= |
| In[32]:= |
| Out[32]= |
Start by applying dithering to the grayscale version of an image:
| In[33]:= | ![]() |
| Out[34]= | ![]() |
Extract the set of coordinates corresponding to dark pixels with PixelValuePositions and add some slight noise:
| In[35]:= | ![]() |
| Out[37]= | ![]() |
Use FindShortestTour to generate a single line that visits very point:
| In[38]:= |
| Out[39]= | ![]() |
Use the original image to add some color:
| In[40]:= |
| Out[40]= | ![]() |
