Goal

This library allows to find the coordinates of the points you are looking for on an image (jpg format).

The point is the set of nearby pixels of choosen color.

For example, when you draw a graph on the image, we will find it's vertices.

Out of the box we have two strategies to determite our points.

1. DifferentColorsStrategy - when the point is different from background color. Default behavior. See Demo, picture 1.
2. ChoosenColorStrategy - when point is defined by it's exact color. See Demo, picture 2.

You can create your own strategy and use it.

Points could be of different size, so they could be easily seen, not just 1px size. We use parameter Searcher::$margin to determine all those pixels as one point.

The result of the search work is an array of points, represented by their X and Y coordinates.

We also give you ImageResult, who creates the image of the search result:

• We can add labels to points we found
• The borders of the points we found could be shown to better understand search process
• We could draw a path between points

Installing

Installing through composer:

The preferred way to install this library is through composer.

Either run

composer require --prefer-dist mgrechanik/image-points-searcher

or add

"mgrechanik/image-points-searcher" : "~1.0.0"

to the require section of your composer.json.

Search for points

Search for points with DifferentColorsStrategy strategy

try {
  $searcher = new \mgrechanik\imagepointssearcher\Searcher(
    './images/graph.jpg'
  );
  $count = $searcher->run();
  print 'Found - ' . $count;
  $points = $searcher->getPoints();
  var_dump($points);
} catch (Exception $e) {
	
}

The result will be like this:

Found - 2
[
	['x' => 10, 'y' => 10],
	['x' => 80, 'y' => 80],
]

Search for points with ChoosenColorStrategy strategy

try {
  $searcher = new \mgrechanik\imagepointssearcher\Searcher(
    './images/usa.jpg',
    new \mgrechanik\imagepointssearcher\ChoosenColorStrategy(60, 132, 253)
  );
  $count = $searcher->run();
  print 'Found - ' . $count;
  $points = $searcher->getPoints();
  var_dump($points);
} catch (Exception $e) {
	
}

Display search result

$imageResult = new \mgrechanik\imagepointssearcher\ImageResult($searcher);

// We can set colors
$imageResult->setLabelsColor(1, 14, 230);
$imageResult->setLinesColor(255, 33, 73);
$imageResult->setMarginsColor(255, 106, 0);


// Draw default labels
$imageResult->drawLabels();
// Draw labels with the text we want
$imageResult->drawLabels(function($key, $point) { return "{$point['x']},{$point['y']}";});

// Draw borders of the points we found
$imageResult->drawMargins();

// Draw the path between points
$imageResult->drawPath([2,9,20,28,41,48,44]);

// Save the result as the image. See Demo.
$imageResult->save('./images/result.jpg');
