# NDWasmImage

## Namespace

#### NDWasmImage

Description:

  - Provides WebAssembly-powered functions for image processing. This module allows for efficient conversion between image binary data and NDArrays.

Source:
  - ndwasm_image.js, line 4

### Methods

#### (static) convertUint8ArrrayToDataurl(uint8array, mimeTypeopt) → {string}

Description:

  - Converts a Uint8Array of binary data into a Base64 Data URL. This is a utility function that runs purely in JavaScript.

Source:
  - ndwasm_image.js, line 244

##### Example

    const pngBytes = NDWasmImage.encodePng(myNdarray);
    const dataUrl = NDWasmImage.convertUint8ArrrayToDataurl(pngBytes, 'image/png');
    // <img src={dataUrl} />

##### Parameters:

Name | Type | Attributes | Default | Description
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
`uint8array` | Uint8Array |  |  | The byte array to convert.
`mimeType` | string | <optional> | `'image/png'` | The MIME type for the Data URL (e.g., 'image/jpeg').

##### Returns:

The complete Data URL string.

Type
  string

#### (static) decode(imageBytes) → {NDArray|null}

Description:

  - Decodes a binary image into an NDArray. Supports common formats like PNG, JPEG, GIF, and WebP. The resulting NDArray will have a shape of [height, width, 4] and a 'uint8c' dtype, representing RGBA channels. This provides a consistent starting point for image manipulation.

Source:
  - ndwasm_image.js, line 25

##### Example

    const imageBlob = await fetch('./my-image.png').then(res => res.blob());
    const imageBytes = new Uint8Array(await imageBlob.arrayBuffer());
    const imageArray = NDWasmImage.decode(imageBytes);
    // imageArray.shape is [height, width, 4]

##### Parameters:

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
`imageBytes` | Uint8Array | The raw binary data of the image file.

##### Returns:

A 3D NDArray representing the image, or null if decoding fails.

Type
  NDArray | null

#### (static) encode(ndarray, optionsopt) → {Uint8Array|null}

Description:

  - Encodes an NDArray into a binary image format (PNG or JPEG).

Source:
  - ndwasm_image.js, line 99
See:
  - NDWasmImage.encodePng
  - NDWasmImage.encodeJpeg

##### Example

    // Encode a 3-channel float array to a high-quality JPEG using the main function
    const floatArr = NDArray.random([100, 150, 3]);
    const jpegBytes = NDWasmImage.encode(floatArr, { format: 'jpeg', quality: 95 });

##### Parameters:

Name | Type | Attributes | Default | Description
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
`ndarray` | NDArray |  |  | The input array. Supported dtypes: 'uint8', 'uint8c', 'float32', 'float64'. Float values should be in the range [0, 1]. Supported shapes: [h, w] (grayscale), [h, w, 1] (grayscale), [h, w, 3] (RGB), or [h, w, 4] (RGBA).
`options` | object | <optional> | `{}` | Encoding options. ###### Properties
Name | Type | Attributes | Default | Description
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
`format` | string | <optional> | `'png'` | The target format: 'png' or 'jpeg'. It is recommended to use the `encodePng` or `encodeJpeg` helpers instead.
`quality` | number | <optional> | `90` | The quality for JPEG encoding (1-100). Ignored for PNG.

##### Returns:

A Uint8Array containing the binary data of the encoded image, or null on failure.

Type
  Uint8Array | null

#### (static) encodeJpeg(ndarray, optionsopt) → {Uint8Array|null}

Description:

  - Encodes an NDArray into a JPEG image. This is a helper function that calls `encode` with `format: 'jpeg'`.

Source:
  - ndwasm_image.js, line 227

##### Example

    const floatArr = NDArray.random([20, 20, 3]);
    const jpegBytes = NDWasmImage.encodeJpeg(floatArr, { quality: 85 });

##### Parameters:

Name | Type | Attributes | Default | Description
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
`ndarray` | NDArray |  |  | The input array. See `encode` for supported shapes and dtypes.
`options` | object | <optional> | `{}` | Encoding options. ###### Properties
Name | Type | Attributes | Default | Description
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
`quality` | number | <optional> | `90` | The quality for JPEG encoding (1-100).

##### Returns:

A Uint8Array containing the binary data of the JPEG image.

Type
  Uint8Array | null

#### (static) encodePng(ndarray) → {Uint8Array|null}

Description:

  - Encodes an NDArray into a PNG image. This is a helper function that calls `encode` with `format: 'png'`.

Source:
  - ndwasm_image.js, line 211

##### Example

    const grayArr = ndarray.zeros([16, 16]);
    const pngBytes = NDWasmImage.encodePng(grayArr);

##### Parameters:

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
`ndarray` | NDArray | The input array. See `encode` for supported shapes and dtypes.

##### Returns:

A Uint8Array containing the binary data of the PNG image.

Type
  Uint8Array | null
