Simple TBitmap blur algorithm (Views: 31)
Problem/Question/Abstract: How to blur a TBitmap Answer: The algorithm is very simple. The value of every pixel in the bitmap is replaced by the sum of the pixels information around the taken pixel divided by 8 (because there are 8 pixels around one pixel). To avoid problems we skip the pixels on the first and the last line and on the first and the last column. function blur(source: TBitmap): TBitmap; var x, y: integer; tline, mline, bline: PByteArray; begin for y := 1 to source.Height - 2 do begin tline := source.ScanLine[y - 1]; mline := source.ScanLine[y]; bline := source.ScanLine[y + 1]; for x := 1 to source.Width - 2 do begin mline^[x * 3] := (mline^[x * 3 - 3] + mline^[x * 3 + 3] + tline^[x * 3 - 3] + tline^[x * 3 + 3] + tline^[x * 3] + mline^[x * 3 - 3] + mline^[x * 3 + 3] + mline^[x * 3]) div 8; mline^[x * 3 + 1] := (mline^[x * 3 - 2] + mline^[x * 3 + 4] + tline^[x * 3 - 2] + tline^[x * 3 + 4] + tline^[x * 3 + 1] + mline^[x * 3 - 2] + mline^[x * 3 + 4] + mline^[x * 3 + 1]) div 8; mline^[x * 3 + 2] := (mline^[x * 3 - 1] + mline^[x * 3 + 5] + tline^[x * 3 - 1] + tline^[x * 3 + 5] + tline^[x * 3 + 2] + mline^[x * 3 - 1] + mline^[x * 3 + 5] + mline^[x * 3 + 2]) div 8; end; end; result := source; end; Usage example: image1.picture.bitmap := blur(image1.picture.bitmap); where image1 is a TPicture object. |
