magic-erase

Clear blurry background in close-focused images, by selecting click-points on the image. Works like the magic-wand tool in Photoshopp.

Installation

npm install magic-erase

Usage

var magicErase = require('magic-erase')

Configuration

// Tweak the Sensitivity for optimal result

var config = {
  image: 'path-to-image', // JPG format and preferrably less than 100 kB
  sensitivity: 50, // ranges from 0.1 to 100,
  erasePoints: [
     // a list of points on the image which will be used as the click points
     // each point is <x-coordinate, y-coordinate>
     // x-coordinate is from left to right
     // y-coordinate is from top to bottom
     // coordinates are normalized within the range 0 to 100 (i.e. percentage)
    [45, 86], [87, 12], [9, 56]
  ]
}

API

var fs = require('fs')

var firstPass = magicErase(config).then(function (response) {
  // save erased result as image file ...
  var base64Img = response.base64Img
  fs.writeFile('output-image.jpg', base64Img, { encoding: 'base64' }, function() {
  	console.log('Saved output image')
  })
  // use the erased result data for a second erase pass
  var data = response.data
  return data
})

var secondPass = firstPass.then(function(response) {
  var newConfig = {
    image: response,
    sensitivity: 48,
    erasePoints: [[8, 4], [65, 12]]
  }
  return magicErase(newConfig)
}).then(function(response) {
  // just like in the first pass
  var base64Img = response.base64Img
  // use base64Img ...
  return response.data
})

// .. do as many passes as you like ...

Caution

• Bigger images will take longer time
