SSTV Image Tools C++ Library

Currently in development but it's functional. Will be used with the MWAV library to create SSTV images.

A simple library for manipulating images into common SSTV image formats using Magick++.

Examples

Convert an image to the size specified by the SSTV mode and add a call sign

  SstvImage image(SstvImage::Mode::ROBOT_36_COLOR, "test1.png");
  image.AddCallSign("N0CALL");
  image.Write("converted_test1.png");

test1.png	converted_test1.png

Get RGB values of specific pixels

  SstvImage image(SstvImage::Mode::ROBOT_36_COLOR, "example/test1.png");
  /* 
    From this point forward image is the size of the specified mode.
    For example, Robot36 is 320x256.
  */
  image.AddCallSign("N0CALL");

  SstvImage::Pixel pixel;
  pixel = image.GetPixel(128, 91, pixel); // Get Pixel returns false if the pixel is out of bounds

  std::cout << (int)pixel.r << " " << (int)pixel.g << " " << (int)pixel.b << std::endl;
  // This will output "0 191 0"

Current Functionality

Basic Features:

• Overlay call sign and message text
• Convert the image to the proper color space
• Get the values for individual pixels
• Add Data to the image

Supported SSTV Image Formats:

• Robot24
• Robot36
• Robot72
• Robot8 B/W
• Robot16 B/W

Tested with jpeg, and png images, support for other Magick++ supported formats has not been tested.

Magick++ (7.1) with libjpeg62-dev, libpng-dev, libfreetype6-dev is required.
