Convert image to grayscale parallel loop
I wrote some code that converts an image to grayscale. but the code only converts partial from it. I am trying to convert this code to parallel computation. I end up with errors that I cannot get around them. Any suggestion?
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap)pictureBox1.Image;
unsafe {
//get image dimension
//int width = bmp.Width;
//int height = bmp.Height;
BitmapData bitmapData = bmp.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height), ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, bmp.PixelFormat);
//define variable
int bpp = System.Drawing.Bitmap.GetPixelFormatSize(bmp.PixelFormat) / 8;
int hip = bitmapData.Height;
int wib = bitmapData.Width + bpp;
//point to first pixel
byte* PtrFirstPixel = (byte*)bitmapData.Scan0;
//color of pixel
// Color p;
//grayscale
Parallel.For(0, hip, y =>
{
byte* currentLine = PtrFirstPixel + (y * bitmapData.Stride);
for (int x = 0; x < wib; x = x + bpp)
{
//get pixel value
//p = bmp.GetPixel(x, y);
//extract pixel component ARGB
//int a = p.A;
//int r = p.R;
//int g = p.G;
// int b = p.B;
int b = currentLine[x];
int g = currentLine[x + 1];
int r = currentLine[x + 2];
//find average
int avg = (r + g + b) / 3;
//set new pixel value
// bmp.SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(a, avg, avg, avg));
currentLine[x] = (byte)avg;
currentLine[x + 1] = (byte)avg;
currentLine[x + 2] = (byte)avg;
}
});
bmp.UnlockBits(bitmapData);
//load grayscale image in picturebox2
//pictureBox2.Image = bmp;
}
pictureBox2.Image = bmp;
}
