mium - medium image

A simple exercise to play with threads

What it does

It downloads images from the internet and unites them into 1 image. Accumulation is just a sum of pixels divided by its amount. It takes every x/y pixel from each image, summarizes them all and divides by amount of images. The obtained pixel will be a part of result image.

How it does

All images are taken from https://www.goodfon.com/

There are 4 types of threads:

• Parse - Makes GET requests to the site, parses html and grabs urls from img tags(every page has 24 images). Sends these urls to the crossbeam multi consumer channel. All requests are done asynchronously at the same time.
• Get - Consumes urls from the channel, downloads them asynchronously, decodes and pushes to the next channel
• Heap - Consumes images from the channel and generates medium image of the gotten batch. Sends the result image to the next channel
• Summarize - Consumes "medium-result" images from the heap threads and does the same job - makes medium of mediums :D Then saves result to the fs
