Image Data Format


Overview

Image data refers to a 2D image.


File Extension

The extension of the data file is ".x".


Format

The MicroAVS image data file is described completely in binary. The first two words at the head of the file are used to denote the horizontal and vertical sizes of the image. Following this, the data for each pixel is describe till the end of the file. However, the data corresponding to each pixel consists of 4 bytes of data consisting of the alpha component (extra component), red color component (red), green color component (green) and the blue color component (blue). Each of these components is denoted by one byte of data and 0 is set as the value of the alpha component. Further, a value between 0-255 denoting the color of each pixel is set in each of the red, green and blue components


Overview of the Image Data Format

Size in X direction 4 byte integer
Size in Y direction 4-byte integer
data for pixel #1
data for pixel #2
data for pixel #3

data for the last pixel

each pixel:

alpha 1byte (0)
red 1 byte (0 - 255)
green 1 byte(0 - 255)
blue 1 byte (0 -255)

Assumption

The image file format of MicroAVS is the same as that of AVS which is the sister product of MicroAVS.
