Graphics code snippet to convert a VCL TImage to a 2D std::vector. To do the opposite, use VectorToImage.


#include <cassert>

#include <vector>

#include <vcl.h>



//Creates a 2D-std::vector (y-x-ordered) from a TImage

//From http://www.richelbilderbeek.nl/CppImageToVector.htm

const std::vector<std::vector<int> > ImageToVector(const TImage * const image)

{

  assert(image!=0 && "Image must not be NULL");

  assert(image->Picture->Bitmap!=0 && "Bitmap must not be NULL");

  assert(image->Picture->Bitmap->PixelFormat == pf24bit && "Bitmap must be 24 bit");



  const int width  = image->Picture->Bitmap->Width;

  const int height = image->Picture->Bitmap->Height;



  std::vector<std::vector<int> > v(height, std::vector<int>(width));



  for (int y=0; y!=height; ++y)

  {

    assert(y >= 0);

    assert(y < static_cast<int>(v.size()));

    std::vector<int>& vLine = v[y];

    const unsigned char * const line

      = static_cast<const unsigned char *>(image->Picture->Bitmap->ScanLine[y]);

    for (int x=0; x!=width; ++x)

    {

      assert(x >= 0);

      assert(x < static_cast<int>(vLine.size()));

      const double grey = static_cast<double>(line[x*3+0] + line[x*3+1] + line[x*3+2])

        / 3.0;

      vLine[x] = grey;

      assert(grey>=0.0 && grey<256.0);

    }

  }

  return v;
