Image quantization using dotNET in LabView (Octree quantization)

[Klemen]

Hello,

I am attaching a VI that performs Octree image quantization using the dotNET functionalities in LabView. This was made possible by (thanks 😞

1. Image quantization library found here: http://codebetter.com/brendantompkins/2007/06/14/gif-image-color-quantizer-now-with-safe-goodness/

2. bitmap handle to 2D picture convert VI found here: http://fabiantoepper.de/hbitmap-handle-mit-labview-lesen/

Currently, the only big problem with the attched code is that you must load the image from file. You can also use the image method to pass in the bitmap handle, but I do not have the knowledge to do this and am not planning to delve depper into this in the near future (the part, where the bitmap is passed as a bitmap handle). So please, if anyone makes any progress (with any part of the code) leave a comment here, since I am also interested in this.

In the experiments (the results are shown below) I am using .jpg images:

max_colors: 128

max_colors: 64

max_colors: 32

max_colors: 16

The attached VI is saved for LV2010. Please tell me if it does not work for you.

Best regards,

K
