I'm working with an historical image that may be (one of?) the first
uses of gray-scale shading to show the pattern of values in a
matrix/table, later used by Bertin in his 'reorderable matrix'
and sometimes called a scalogram.
The image is at
http://euclid.psych.yorku.ca/SCS/Gallery/images/Private/scalogram.jpg
The rows refer to the arrondisements of Paris, the cols to various
population characteristics.
I want to read it into R with rimage(read.jpeg), calcualte avg. shading
values,
and recreate an approximation to the image with the row and column
labels. I'm stuck at this last step,
plot(imagematrix(mat))
(and also on how to read the image from a URL).
Can someone help? My code is below
library(rimage)
image <- read.jpeg("C:/Documents/milestone/images/scalogram.jpg")
## how to read from web?
#image <-
read.jpeg("http://euclid.psych.yorku.ca/SCS/Gallery/images/Private/scalogram.jpg")
# remove row/col headers
img2 <- image[480:1740, 470:2350]
str(img2)
# size of each blob
ht <-floor(nrow(img2)/20);
wd <-floor(ncol(img2)/40)
# calculate trimmed mean of pixel values
mat <- matrix(nrow=20,ncol=40,0)
for (i in 1:20) {
for (j in 1:40) {
rows <- seq(1+(i-1)*ht, i*ht)
cols <- seq(1+(j-1)*wd, j*wd)
blob <- img2[ rows, cols ]
mat[i,j] <- mean(blob, trim=0.1)
}
}
