Haskell bindings for FlatCV image processing library.

FlatCV is a lightweight, dependency-free image processing library written in C. This package provides Haskell bindings to the FlatCV library, enabling fast image operations like grayscale conversion, Gaussian blur, edge detection, perspective transforms, and more.

The library is particularly useful for document scanning and image preprocessing tasks.

Haskell bindings for the FlatCV image processing library.

Usage

import FlatCV
import qualified Data.Vector.Storable as V

main :: IO ()
main = do
  -- Assuming you have RGBA image data as a Vector Word8
  let
    width = 640
    height = 480
    -- imageData :: V.Vector Word8

  -- Convert to grayscale
  grayData <- grayscale width height imageData

  -- Apply Gaussian blur
  blurredData <- gaussianBlur width height 2.0 imageData

  -- Detect edges
  edges <- sobelEdgeDetection width height 4 imageData

  -- Extract a document from a photo
  (outW, outH, docData) <- extractDocumentAuto width height imageData
