Bitmap Image to Binary Image (Black & White) [modified]
-
Hello, I need to get each pixel (as 1's and 0's) and package them as bytes. For example, I have a bitmap with a resolution of 64x64 pixels and convert it into an array of 512 bytes. Sorry for the bad english EDIT: I did forgot something. The solution for my problem was in this article[^].

If it is that small, then why not just use Bitmap.GetPixel? If you are doing a lot of them, or they are bigger you may have to directly access the bitmap bytes to save processing time.

How to access directly to the bytes of the bitmap? Through the Bitmap.LockBits() method? The purpose of this conversion is to create binary images for use in programs for the Casio fx-9860G (graphic calculator)

Yes. If they are black and white, then specify the System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format1bppIndexed mode.

I recall that someone has an article somewhere that has instructions that can do this very quickly. But I can't seem to recollect who that was. Painless yet unsafe grayscale conversion in C#[^] BTW, your English is fine.

Your memory is completely fading now, he wants binary, not grayscale. :-D

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.

My memory may be failing but last time I checked that article provided a fast way to get all pixel information as well as write out said pixel information. The actual grayscale conversion is trivial when compared to the rest of the code. And if I recall the question, it was how can I quickly ... which the article addresses. As for binary image that is an exercise left to the reader. But then again, if you keep the gray scale logic you can then apply your threshold statement and get the binary result as well.

Of course. BTW: he may be needing a dynamic threshold to get acceptable results on more difficult images, e.g. when luminance is varrying wildly. :)

See the link below. It is a test image which I want to convert to binary image I forgot to mention something. The binary image is to be used in C++ source files. http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/744/boxm.png[^] Here is the expected result:
unsigned char box[27] = {
0xf8,0xff,0x3,
0x6,0x0,0xc,

Does this mean that you want to use this as an image in your application - for a button or other control? Because if so, you don't have to convert it to binary.

I want to use it as a sprite for my CASIO fx-9860G calculator. It is to be used in add-ins.

I've now created a class that can convert bitmaps (*.bmp; *.png) to binary images (0xFF 0x89 0x78 0x65), but now my problem is that some bitmaps have grey, and to display it on a B&W LCD I need to emulate the grey effect by using double-buffering (I've mastered the double-buffering issue). Both buffers are displayed to the screen with an especial delay, to created the grey effect.
