6D Blocking Python Implementation

Milestone 2 Progress

Varshita

  • Implemented functionality of converting an image into texels with RGBA values.
  • Converted a linear array of texels into a 6D blocking structure
  • Wrote the functions get_texel_array_from_image() and convert_texel_array_to_6D() within Image_to_6D.py file to accomplish the above two tasks.

Darryl

  • Converted a 6D blocking structure into a linear version (linear())
  • Created the address() function that takes in texel coordinates and outputs the address for the 6D linear data structure.
  • Added functionality to output an image given a linear normal 1D array to verify that blocking works correctly.

Image_to_6D.py

get_texel_array_from_image()

Description:

This function takes in a file path location to a desired image and utilizes the Pillow python library to convert it into texels with RGBA values. It is then converted into a numpy array containing a linear list of [R, G, B, A] values.

Input:

  • file_location: The path to an image

Output:

A tuple containing a linear array of pixels in RGBA format and the height and width of the image in pixels.

convert_texel_array_to_6D()

Description:

This function converts a linear array of texels into the 6D blocking representation by creating a 6D array structure holding superblocks, blocks, and texels. The size of a superblock and block are 16 x 16 are 4 x 4 texels respectively. For images that are smaller than the superblock or block size, all of the surrounding block values are padded with zeros.

Input:

  • texels: A linear array of texels containing [R, G, B, A] values
  • width: The width of an image
  • height: The height of an image

Output:

A 6D array containing superblocks, blocks, and texels.
