Introduction to the Z80 CPU The Z80 CPU, introduced by Zilog, marks the company’s first foray into microprocessors. Conceived by Federico Faggin in late 1974 and developed by him and his team of 11 employees starting in early 1975, the Z80 quickly became a...
Using OpenCV – Convert Image to Gray Scale in Python. In the past posts we looked at doing some image conversions using arrays and manual steps. All that is fun, it lets us see what is going on inside the black box. However, deadlines and everything else –...
Histogram for a Gray Scale Image – Using Python. What is an image histogram – it is a profile of the occurrences of each gray level present in an image. In the visual example below – we are using a bar graph to visualize it. It starts at 0 and goes...
In the last post we took a look at averaging the RGB channels to produce a gray scale image. It does require some math division to get the result. If you need a way that is even simpler and faster than averaging – we can extract the values from one of the color...
Let’s us look at some ways of converting a color image into a black and white or gray scale image. The most straight forward approach is averaging the three color channels, RGB. GrayValue = (Red + Green + Blue) / 3 You do this for every pixel. It is quick and...
There are a tons of image already – instead of going though the pain staking process of creating by hand our own images, I am going to use an image I already captured. And yes, it is of my three cats. I am also adding to the collection of cat images on the...
Color Image Arrays for image processing. Up to this point we have been dealing with Black and White images or Gray Scale images – that can be represented by a 2d array. Array(height, width) In which each element in the array represents one pixel and the level of...

Here is a little fun. Some Python code that will take a text file and turn it into an image. When I say, turn it into an image – I don’t mean it will read the text file and make some image from it that we could look at and say… oh the ocean. What it does...
As you recall – a black and white image can be represented by a 2d array. The below Python code takes a 2 x 5 array (checker board pattern) and using matplot converts it into an image we can see. #%% import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np # 2d Image...
High level it is a binary representation (numbers) of visual information. And how is it represented? It depends on the format, we will get into that later, but it is nothing more than an array of numbers. For example – lets just take a 256 level black and white...
