Image Colorizer

Never settle for images outside your colorscheme again! Now 🔥B l a z i n g F a s t🔥 thanks to 🦀Rust and 🖥️WGSL

Install

AUR

paru -Syu image-colorizer # Or whatever AUR helper you use. yay, pikaur, etc

Cargo

cargo install image-colorizer

I am currently working on adding support for other package managers, such as the brew, deb, etc.

Quick Start

Single Image

image-colorizer input_image1.jpg # Outputs input_image1_{colorscheme}.jgp

Multiple Images

image-colorizer -o ./processed_images input_image1.jpg input_image2.png

Features

• 🔥 GPU-accelerated image processing using WebGPU Shading Language (WGSL)
• 🎨 Support for custom color schemes
• 🥷 Minimal artifacting through advanced color blending techniques
• 🤹 Parallel processing of multiple images

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have a GPU that supports WebGPU

Usage

To use the Image Colorizer, run the following command:

image-colorizer [OPTIONS] <IMAGE_PATHS>...

Options

• -b, --blend-factor <FACTOR>: Set the blend factor (0.0-1.0)
• --interpolation-threshold <THRESHOLD>: Set the interpolation threshold (0.0-100.0)
• -d, --dither-amount <AMOUNT>: Set the dither amount (0.0-1.0)
• --spatial-averaging-radius <RADIUS>: Set the spatial averaging radius (0-100)
• -c, --config <CONFIG_FILE>: Specify a custom config file
• -o, --output <OUTPUT_DIR>: Set the output directory
• -h, --help: Print help information

Configuration

You can customize the colorizer's behavior by creating a configuration file. The default location for the config file is ~/.config/colorizer/config.toml. Here's an example configuration:

blend_factor = "0.9"
colorscheme = "kanagawa"
interpolation_threshold = "2.5"
dither_amount = "0.1"
spatial_averaging_radius = "10"

You can also create custom color schemes by adding a TOML file with the color values in the ~/.config/colorizer/ directory.

How It Works

he Image Colorizer uses a sophisticated combination of CPU and GPU processing to efficiently transform images. Here's a detailed overview of the process:

graph TD
    A[Load Colorscheme] -->|CPU| B[Interpolate Colorscheme]
    B --> C[Load Image]
    C --> D[Initialize GPU]
    D --> E[Pass Image to GPU]
    E --> F[Find Closest Colors]
    F --> G[Apply Dithering]
    G --> H[Pass Image back to CPU]
    H --> I[Create Summed Area Table SAT]
    I --> J[Pass SAT to GPU]
    J --> K[Perform Spatial Averaging]
    K --> L[Transfer Luminance from Original]
    L --> M[Pass Final Image to CPU]
    M --> N[Save Processed Image]

Loading

1. The colorscheme is loaded and interpolated on the CPU to fill gaps in color space.
2. The input image is loaded via CPU.
3. The GPU is initialized with WebGPU.
4. The image data is transferred to the GPU.
5. For each pixel, the closest color from the interpolated color scheme is found.
6. Dithering is applied to reduce color banding.
7. The processed image is passed back to the CPU.
8. A Summed Area Table (SAT) is created for efficient spatial averaging.
9. The SAT is passed back to the GPU.
10. Spatial averaging is performed using the SAT.
11. Luminance is transferred from the original image to preserve detail.
12. The final processed image is transferred back to the CPU.
13. The resulting image is saved to disk.
