This is an alternative to "Convert RGB to Gray Scale Without Using Pointers".
You shouldn't rely on methods from the .NET classes (Bitmap::SetPixel, Bitmap::GetPixel, Color::FromArgb) in the inner loop as these are called intensively, million times per image, and their implementation are opaque to you.If their implementation is opaque to the compiler too, no code...
I would use the colormatrix for that... Look here under the grayscale methodhttp://pawjershauge.blogspot.com/2010/09/imagedrawing-extensions.html
A piece of warning, though: the LockBits method is not a transparent one, it does image format conversion before returning a pointer to the bitmap (this is why it has a PixelFormat argument). And conversely, the UnlockBits method converts back to the original format. My best guess is that when...
gasshopper.iics is a group of like minded programmers and learners in codeproject. The basic objective is to keep in touch and be notified while a member contributes an article, to check out with technology and share what we know. We are the "students" of codeproject.
This group is managed by Rupam Das, an active author here. Other Notable members include Ranjan who extends his helping hands to invaluable number of authors in their articles and writes some great articles himself.
Rupam Das is mentor of Grasshopper Network,founder and CEO of Integrated Ideas Consultancy Services, a research consultancy firm in India. He has been part of projects in several technologies including Matlab, C#, Android, OpenCV, Drupal, Omnet++, legacy C, vb, gcc, NS-2, Arduino, Raspberry-PI. Off late he has made peace with the fact that he loves C# more than anything else but is still struck in legacy style of coding.
Rupam loves algorithm and prefers Image processing, Artificial Intelligence and Bio-medical Engineering over other technologies.
He is frustrated with his poor writing and "grammer" skills but happy that coding polishes these frustrations.
