Song2

Fast (linear time) implementation of the Gaussian Blur algorithm in Go.

Original algorithm taken from http://blog.ivank.net/fastest-gaussian-blur.html, and use goroutine.

Install & Usage

Package

Download and compile from this repository.

go get -u github.com/matsuyoshi30/song2

And import as a package, call the API song2.GaussianBlur(src, blurRadius).

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "image"
    "image/png"
    "os"

    "github.com/matsuyoshi30/song2"
)

func main() {
    img, err := os.Open("./input.png")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }
    defer img.Close()

    img, _, err := image.Decode(file)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }

    blurred := song2.GaussianBlur(img, 3.0)

    out, err := os.Create("./output.png")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }
    defer out.Close()

    if err := png.Encode(out, blurred); err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }
}

CLI tool

Clone this repository, and go install.

git clone https://github.com/matsuyoshi30/song2
cd song2/cmd/song2 && go install

You can use song2 as a cli tool.

Usage:
  song2 [FLAGS] [FILE]

FLAGS:
  -o  Write output image to specifig filepath [default: blurred.png]
  -r  Radius [default: 3.0]
