Change Background colour of extracted blob

[RGulliver]

Hi Guys,

Firstly, congratulations on a fantastic framework.

I have successfully extracted shaped blobs from an image and saved the individual blobs as separate image files for further processing. They extracted blobs which are saved in PNG format have transparent backgrounds, how can I change the background colour to black(0,0,0) on extraction and saving.

thanks in advance

Hi guys,

Resolved the issue myself by creating an 24bit image and copying the extracted blob to that image, the background colour is now black(0,0,0)

Code: Select all

Do While i < n
            If (blobs.Length > 0) Then
                blobCounter.ExtractBlobsImage(Bitmap, blobs(i), False)
                Dim glassPane32 As Bitmap = blobs(i).Image.ToManagedImage()
                Dim glassPane24 As New Bitmap(glassPane32.Width, glassPane32.Height, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb)
                Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(glassPane24)
                g.DrawImage(glassPane32, 0, 0, glassPane32.Width, glassPane32.Height)
                Dim glassName As String = i & "_" & DateAndTime.Now.ToString("ddMMyyyy_HH_mm_ss") & ".png"
                glassPane24.Save(Application.StartupPath & "\process_image\" & glassName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
                glassPane32.Dispose()               
                glassPane24.Dispose()
                g.Dispose()
            End If
            i += 1
        Loop
