Hi Ranjit,

You have a bitmap right.
Can I know the type of the bitmap?

The following are the bitmap types.

1. Monochrome.
2. 16 Color.
3. 256 Color and
4. 24 bit.

Note: For each type we want to fetch the pixel values differently.

hi...

the bitmap is of 24 bits......(640x 480-bmp)


Thanks

Hi Ranjit,

For 24 bit bitmap,
The pixel value range is 0 to 16777216.

Can you able to get the pixel values from the bitmap?

If yes, give some sample pixel values you got.

Hi Ranjit,

Thanks for giving information.
Whatever you are given is correct.
I think we need to concentrate on the pallette information.
Can you give some more samples about palette information?

Note : We need the palette information in the RGB format.

Hi Ranjit,

Let as assume a matrix of size 640x480.

So you must have 307200 pixel values.
I just need the pixel values to find the red dot in the black background.

Note :The URL you have posted is not working.

hi....

ok ok...i got it....it is 68154.....

Well.
First Convert the color pixel values to grayscale values.

nGrayScaleValue = R*0.3 + G*0.59+ B*0.11;

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dir.h>
#include <graphics.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>

#define NO_OF_PIXELS 24
main(int argc,char **argv)
{
struct ffblk *ffblk;
char ch;
FILE *fp,*fp1;
unsigned char color[3];
long int i = 0,j = 0;
int x =0,y =0;
int pixels,done;
long colorval= 0;
pixels = NO_OF_PIXELS;
if(argc > 1)
pixels = atoi(argv[1]);
ffblk = malloc(sizeof(s truct ffblk));
done = findfirst("*.bi n",ffblk,0);
fp = fopen (ffblk->ff_name,"rb" );
fp1 = fopen("a.csv"," w");
while(!feof(fp) && !kbhit())
{
fread(color,1,3 ,fp);
if(color[0] > 0xf9 && color[1] > 0x00 && color[2] > 0x00 && color[0] < 0xff && color[1]< 0x9f && color[2] < 0x9f){

fprintf(fp1,"%l d,%d,%d,%d,%d,% s\n",i%pixels,( int)(i/pixels ),color[0],color[1],color[2],ffblk->ff_name);
j++;


i++;
}
fclose(fp);



here i am checking for the condition if the red color can be spotted(i have converted the bmp file into its binary file.....)...bu t i am not able to find the coordinates of where it is found....
