我们在做一些图像处理时,往往会涉及到RGB565这种图像数据格式。由于其每个像素仅占2个字节,对于不需要像素透明度的情况下使用RGB565既能基本能保证图像的色彩,又能降低图像数据尺寸,节省带宽。因此,RGB565将会是一种常用的比较经济的图像处理的格式。


下面就来描述一下如何在iOS中将一段RGB565的原始图像数据转为UIImage对象。见以下代码:

- (UIImage*)imageFromRGB565:(void*)rawData width:(int)width height:(int)height
{
    const size_t bufferLength = width * height * 2;
    NSData *data = [NSData dataWithBytes:rawData length:bufferLength];
    
    CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
    CGDataProviderRef provider = CGDataProviderCreateWithCFData((CFDataRef)data);
    
    // Creating CGImage from cv::Mat
    CGImageRef imageRef = CGImageCreate(width,          //width
                                        height,         //height
                                        5,              //bits per component
                                        16,             //bits per pixel
                                        width * 2,      //bytesPerRow
                                        colorSpace,     //colorspace
                                        kCGImageAlphaNoneSkipFirst | kCGBitmapByteOrder16Little,// bitmap info
                                        provider,               //CGDataProviderRef
                                        NULL,                   //decode
                                        false,                  //should interpolate
                                        kCGRenderingIntentDefault   //intent
                                        );
    
    // Getting UIImage from CGImage
    UIImage *finalImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageRef];
    CGImageRelease(imageRef);
    CGDataProviderRelease(provider);
    CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
    
    return finalImage;
}

iOS中,QuartzCore支持的16位RGB就一种格式——AlphaNoneSkipFirst,每个分量5比特,每个像素16比特,字节序为ByteOrder16Little。因此,R分量位于低字节;而B分量位于高字节。下面举个应用例子:

 1 - (void)buttonTouched:(id)sender
 2 {   
 3     unsigned short *imageBuffer = (unsigned short*)malloc(128 * 128 * 2);
 4     for(int row = 0; row < 128; row++)
 5     {
 6         unsigned short color = 0x001f;
 7         if(row >= 64)
 8             color = 0xf800;
 9         
10         for(int col = 0; col < 128; col++)
11             imageBuffer[row * 128 + col] = color;
12     }
13     
14     UIImage *image = [self imageFromRGB565:imageBuffer width:128 height:128];
15     free(imageBuffer);
16     
17     UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake((self.view.frame.size.width - 128.0f) * 0.5f, (self.view.frame.size.height - 128.0f) * 0.5f, 128.0f, 128.0f)];
18     imageView.image = image;
19     [self.view addSubview:imageView];
20     [imageView release];
21 }

以上代码创建了一幅128x128的RGB565的图像,上64行为红色;下64行为蓝色。
