Brille Image Processing

Brille is an image processing module for Golang

Works with JPEG and PNG images

It does not have any dependencies, only standard Golang libraries are being used

Demo: https://images.dyum.in

Installation

Minimal required Golang version: v1.18

go get github.com/julyskies/brille/v2@latest

Versioning

Brille v2.0.X have a number of breaking changes compared to v1.0.X:

• some of the filtering functions were removed
• some of the filtering functions were renamed
• some of the constants were renamed

Check Available filters section for more information regarding these changes.

Usage

All of the Brille filter functions return 3 values:

• processed file as io.Reader
• file format as string
• processing error

Basic example:

package main

import (
	"io"
	"log"
	"os"

	"github.com/julyskies/brille"
)

func main() {
	file, fileError := os.Open("/path/to/file.jpeg")
	if fileError != nil {
		log.Fatal(fileError)
	}
	defer file.Close()

	sobel, format, processingError := brille.Sobel(file)
	if processingError != nil {
		log.Fatal(processingError)
	}

	outputFile, outputError := os.Create("sobel." + format)
	if outputError != nil {
		log.Fatal(outputError)
	}
	defer outputFile.Close()

	_, copyError := io.Copy(outputFile, sobel)
	if copyError != nil {
		log.Fatal(copyError)
	}
	
	log.Println("processed " + format)
}

Using with Fiber:

package apis

import (
	"strings"

	"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
	"github.com/julyskies/brille"
)

func controller(context *fiber.Ctx) error {
	file, fileError := context.FormFile("image")
	if fileError != nil {
		return fiber.NewError(fiber.StatusInternalServerError)
	}

	partials := strings.Split(file.Filename, ".")
	extension := partials[len(partials)-1]
	if extension == "" {
		return fiber.NewError(fiber.StatusBadRequest)
	}

	fileHandle, readerError := file.Open()
	if readerError != nil {
		return fiber.NewError(fiber.StatusInternalServerError)
	}

	result, format, processingError := brille.Grayscale(
		fileHandle,
		brille.GRAYSCALE_TYPE_LUMINANCE,
	)
	if processingError != nil {
		return fiber.NewError(fiber.StatusInternalServerError)
	}

	context.Set("Content-Type", "image/"+format)
	return context.SendStream(result)
}

Performance

Brille uses sync.WaitGroup for performance optimization starting with version v2.0.4. Image processing can be done in several threads (by default Brille uses runtime.NumCPU() value).

Available filters

• Binary: converts an image to 1-bit black and white. Requires a threshold value (uint8, 0 to 255):

  binary, format, processingError := brille.Binary(file, 155)

• Box blur: blurs the image. Requires blur radius to be provided (uint, any value):

  blurred, format, processingError := brille.BoxBlur(file, 7)

• Brightness: adjusts image bightness. Requires brightness amount to be provided (int, -255 to 255):

  brightened, format, processingError := brille.Brightness(file, 75)

• Color inversion: inverts image colors:

  inverted, format, processingError := brille.ColorInversion(file)

• Contrast: adjusts image contrast. Requires contrast amount to be provided (int, -255 to 255):

  contrast, format, processingError := brille.Contrast(file, -45)

• Eight colors: this filter leaves only eight colors present on the image (red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, magenta, white, black):

  eightColors, format, processingError := brille.EightColors(file)

• Emboss: a static edge detection filter that uses a 3x3 kernel. It can be used to outline edges on an image:

  embossed, format, processingError := brille.Emboss(file)

• Flip: flips image horizontally or vertically. This filter requires a second argument - flip direction. Flip directions are available as brille module constants (FLIP_DIRECTION_HORIZONTAL is a horizontal mirroring and FLIP_DIRECTION_VERTICAL is vertical mirroring):

  flipped, format, processingError := brille.Flip(
    file,
    brille.FLIP_DIRECTION_HORIZONTAL,
  )

• Gamma correction: corrects image gamma. Requires correction amount to be provided (float64, 0 to 3.99). By default image gamma equals to 1, so providing a value less than that makes colors more intense, and larger values decrease color intensity:

  corrected, format, processingError := brille.GammaCorrection(file, 2.05)

• Gaussian blur: blurs an image using dynamically generated Gaussian kernel. Requires sigma value to be provided (float64, 0 to 99). Sigma value represents blur intensity and directly correlates with generated kernel size. This Gaussian blur implementation performs 2 convolution cycles (horizontal & vertical) for the best blur quality:

  blurred, format, processingError := brille.GaussianBlur(file, 7.5)

• Grayscale: turns colors into shades of gray. This filter requires a second argument - grayscale type. Grayscale types are available as brille module constants (GRAYSCALE_TYPE_AVERAGE and GRAYSCALE_TYPE_LUMINANCE):

  grayscale, format, processingError := brille.Grayscale(
    file,
    brille.GRAYSCALE_TYPE_LUMINANCE,
  )

• Hue rotation: rotates image hue. Requires an angle to be provided (int, any value):

  rotated, format, processingError := brille.HueRotate(file, 278)

• Kuwahara: an edge detection filter with dynamic radius. Requires radius to be provided (uint, any value). This filter is pretty slow, and will probably be optimized in the future:

  kuwahara, format, processingError := brille.Kuwahara(file, 5)

• Laplacian: a static edge detection filter that uses a 3x3 kernel. It can be used to outline edges on an image:

  laplacian, format, processingError := brille.Laplacian(file)

• Rotate image (fixed angles): rotates an image clockwise (90, 180 or 270 degrees). This filter requires a second argument - rotation angle. Rotation angles are available as brille module constants (ROTATE_FIXED_90, ROTATE_FIXED_180 and ROTATE_FIXED_270):

  rotated270deg, format, processingError := brille.RotateFixed(
    file,
    brille.ROTATE_FIXED_270,
  )

• Sepia: sepia color filter.

  sepia, format, processingError := brille.Sepia(file)

• Sharpen: sharpens provided image. Requires an amount to be provided (uint, 0 to 100):

  sharpen, format, processingError := brille.Sharpen(file, 50)

• Sobel: a static edge detection filter that uses a 3x3 kernel. It can be used to outline edges on an image:

  sobel, format, processingError := brille.Sobel(file)

• Solarize: solarization affects image colors, partially inversing the colors. Requires a threshold to be provided (uint8, 0 to 255):

  solarized, format, processingError := brille.Solarize(file, 99)

Environment variables

• BRILLE_JPEG_QUALITY (int) - controls output quality for JPEG images, should be a number from 0 (low quality) to 100 (highest quality). Highest quality is used by default.

• BRILLE_THREADS (int) - controls the number of threads used when performing image processing. By default runtime.NumCPU() value is used, and provided number should be less or equal to that value.
