Dithery-Do

Dithery-Do is mostly an artistic project that provides methods to colour an image according to some pre-defined pallette, kind of like how an artists paints their pictures. More generally though, this project serves as an exploration of image dithering and efficient image processing.

DitheryDo

Usage

The general CLI syntax for Dithery-Do is the following

DitheryDo [--help] [--version] [-o VAR] -algo VAR -space VAR --channel VAR input palette

where:

  • input = The input image
  • palette = Path to palette file
  • -o = Path to output file (output.jpg by default)
  • -a/-algo = The color selection algorithm to use
  • -s/-space = The color space to use for selection
  • -v/--vector = The direction vector to use for the dot_blend algorithm (see below)

Note: the necessary parameters can also be found by running ./DitherDo --help

Dithery Do currently supports RGB, XYZ, and Lab* (using D65 or D50 as illuminant)

The selection algorithms are a bit more involved:

  • euclid = Smallest euclidian distance from the target
  • line = Blends between 2 selected colors based on a dot product
  • dot_blend = Partitions the palette based on a dot product and blends between colors from each partition

Building

Building this project requires CMake, which can be installed on Debian-based OSs with

sudo apt install cmake

Once installed, the project can be built with

make

The compiled binary can be found in build/DitheryDo
