stackblur-go

GoDoc Build Status

Go port of Mario Klingemann's Stackblur algorithm.

Stackblur is a compromise between Gaussian blur and Box blur, but it creates much better looking blurs than Box blur and it is ~7x faster than Gaussian blur.

Comparing to the Javascript implementation the Go version is at least 50% faster (depending on the image size and blur radius), applied on the same image with the same bluring radius.

20 ~15ms ~7.4ms

Installation

First, install Go, set your GOPATH, and make sure $GOPATH/bin is on your PATH.

$ export GOPATH="$HOME/go"
$ export PATH="$PATH:$GOPATH/bin"

Next download the project and build the binary file.

$ go get -u -f github.com/esimov/stackblur-go
$ cd cmd && go build -o $GOPATH/bin/stackblur
CLI example

The provided CLI example supports the following flags:

$ stackblur --help

Usage of stackblur:
  -gif
    	Output Gif
  -in string
    	Source
  -out string
    	Destination
  -radius int
    	Radius (default 20)

The command below will generate the blurred version of the source image.

$ stackblur -in image/sample.png -out image/output.png -radius 10

The cli command supports a -gif flag, which if set as true it visualize the bluring process by outputting the result into a gif file.

API

The API is very simple: you have to expose an image file or a pixel array and a blur radius to the Run function. This will return the blurred version of the original image.

stackblur.Run(src, blurRadius)

Results

Original image Blurred image

Overview

stackblur-go is a Go port of the Stackblur algorithm.

Stackblur is a compromise between Gaussian blur and Box blur, but it creates much better looking blurs than Box blur and it is ~7x faster than Gaussian blur.

The API is very simple and easy to integrate into the project. There is a single publicly exposed `Process` functions which receive an image and a radius as parameters and returns the blurred version of the provided image.

func Process(src image.Image, radius uint32) image.Image

Below is a very simple example of how you can use this package.

package main

import (
	"image"
	"image/jpeg"
	"log"
	"os"

	"github.com/esimov/stackblur-go"
)

func main() {
	img, err := os.Open("sample.jpg")
	defer img.Close()

	src, _, err := image.Decode(img)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	res := stackblur.Process(src, uint32(5))

	output, err := os.OpenFile("output.jpg", os.O_CREATE|os.O_RDWR, 0755)
	defer output.Close()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	if err = jpeg.Encode(output, res, &jpeg.Options{Quality: 100}); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}
