A library to process images and extract dominant color and palette.
You can install the library via npm or yarn:
npm install @babidi/pixor
yarn add @babidi/pixHere's an example of how you can use @babidi/pix to extract the predominant color and palette from an image:
import Pix from '@babidi/pix';
import * as fs from 'fs';
const imageBuffer = fs.promises.readFile('path_to_your_image.jpg');
const image = new Pix(imageBuffer, Pix.Format.JPG);
console.log('Dominant Color:', image.dominant.toHex());
console.log('Palette:', image.palette.toHex());Replace 'path_to_your_image.jpg' with the path to the image file you want to process.
A benchmark was conducted comparing the performance of @babidi/pix with another popular library called ColorThief in extracting the dominant color and color palette from different types of image files. Times are shown in milliseconds (ms).
| File Type | Pix (ms) | ColorThief (ms) |
|---|---|---|
| PNG | 274 | 2325 |
| JPEG | 309 | 3781 |
| GIF | 262 | 237 |
| BMP | 122 | No Supported |
