Shikimo (CarrierWave::Daltonize)

Shikimo (色盲) means colour-blind in Japanese.

Adds daltonize processing to ruby and carrierwave (using ruby-vips).

For more information on how the algorithm works, check out this blog post

Installation

Requires ruby-vips. See https://github.com/jcupitt/ruby-vips

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'carrierwave-daltonize'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install carrierwave-daltonize

Usage

In your carrierwave uploader, include carrierwave daltonize, and then use any of the daltonize processing functions.

class ColourBlindUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
  include CarrierWave::Daltonize

  version :deuteranope
    process :daltonize => :deuteranope
  end

  version :protanope
    process :daltonize => :protanope
  end

  version :tritanope
    process :daltonize => :tritanope
  end
end

Standalone

You can also use the ruby code without carrierwave to process an image file.

Usage:

./lib/daltonize.rb in.jpg out.jpg deuteranope

In your ruby code:

require 'rubygems'
require 'vips'
require 'carrierwave-daltonize'

# to process an image filename for deuteranopia and save it
Daltonize.daltonize_file(source, destination, :deuteranope)

# or calling the daltonize function directly

im = VIPS::Image.new(source)
im = Daltonize.tritanope(im)
im.write(destination)

There's also a version of the algorithm in nip2 for easy testing of the details of the parameters. See 'other' directory. Run with something like:

nip2 daltonize.ws

This workspace needs version 7.33 or later of nip2.

CarrierWave::VIPS

Note that CarrierWave::Daltonize no longer relies on CarrierWave::VIPS. You can use it with any other CarrierWave plugin.

However, since you already need ruby-vips to run this, it would make sense to use it too.

CarrierWave::VIPS should dramatically increase the speed and reduce memory footprint of your carrierwave image processing.
