Split By Color
A simple C program to cut ppm images along a line identified by two green dots. It is a utility to be integrated in the InsomniaLab DIY bookscanner.
To compile
Simply use make. To compile
make all
To clean
make clean
How to use
./split -f .ppm
The code is fairly commented. The code to read and write the PPM is taken from an example in stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2693631/read-ppm-file-and-store-it-in-an-array-coded-with-c).
Debug
- threshold(int green, int red, int blue) [lib/manppm.c]
This is the function that tests the color of any pixel that is passed. The logic is the simplest: to pass the test the color should be into the interval
green<=greenT red>=redT blue<=blueT
The three constants (greenT,redT,blueT) are defined in lib/ppm_common.h
To stress or test the threshold function in lib/manppm.c you can change the definition at compile time with
make EXTRACFLAGS="-D greenT=new_green_value -D redT=new_red_value -D blueT=new_blue_value" all
TO DO:
- Integrate with ppmrose (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ppmrose) to perform the unwarping
- Test with real book scanner images (in progress)
- A LOT of debug!
