@ HH
OK I will "bite" on your idea. but I have never examined or processed the
imagedata. Please scrutinize my code below. But there is a major caveat with
your original code (see below)
I think I got it correct.
but there is a huge difference on the result between the 1 X 1 and the 12 X 9
I have a late afternoon shot of the sun setting over the ocean. your original
function returns
148.981481 # which seems too low…
But if I did this correctly (I may not have)
I get
192.333333 # which seems a lot more correct visually because this is bright
image.
average across 12x 9 = 108 px = 432 bytes of image data.
did I do something wrong here. (disclaimer… this could probably be
optimized…but still very fast)
function avgBrightness theImage
--lock screen; lock messages
if there is no img ii then create img ii
set resizeQuality of img ii to "best"
put the width of img 1 into tOrigWidth
put the height of img 1 into tOrigHeight
set width of img ii to tOrigWidth
set height of img ii to tOrigHeight
set imagedata of img ii to the imagedata of img theImage
put 12 into tNewWidth
# Scale down proportinally
set the width of img ii to tNewWidth
put round ( (tOrigHeight*tNewWidth)/tOrigWidth) into tNewHeight
set height of img ii to tNewHeight
--set width of img ii to 1
--set height of img ii to 1
put the imagedata of img ii into iData
put tNewWidth * tNewHeight * 4 into tNoPixelBytes
delete img ii
# get beyond first byte otherwise mod 4 returns bogus value
put (byteToNum(byte 2 of iData) & "," &\
byteToNum(byte 3 of iData) & "," &\
byteToNum(byte 4 of iData) & ",") into tAllPixelColorValues
repeat with x = 5 to tNoPixelBytes
if x mod 4 = 1 then next repeat # skip this one, all zeros here.
put byteToNum(byte x of iData) &"," after tAllPixelColorValues
end repeat
put empty into item -1 of tAllPixelColorValues # remove last empty itm
return avg (tAllPixelColorValues)
unlock screen; unlock messages
end avgBrightness

But if you use your original code and do not delete img ii, a different value
is returned than if you uncomment that line.. if you delete img ii you get a
different value.
function avgBrightness1 theImage
--lock screen; lock messages
if there is no img ii then create img ii
set resizeQuality of img ii to "best"
put the width of img 1 into tOrigWidth
put the height of img 1 into tOrigHeight
set imagedata of img ii to the imagedata of img theImage
set width of img ii to 1
set height of img ii to 1
put the imagedata of img ii into iData
--delete img ii
return avg (byteToNum(byte 2 of iData), \
byteToNum(byte 3 of iData), \
byteToNum(byte 4 of iData))
--unlock screen; unlock messages
end avgBrightness1

There is still one option that uses a weighted grayLevel-mean

than simple averaging that one wants a dark/light decision.
return (0.1*byteToNum(byte 2 of iData) \
+ 0.6*byteToNum(byte 3 of iData) \
+ 0.3*byteToNum(byte 4 of iData))
Also, what will be still fast enough, you could think about
scaling down _proportional_ to 3x2 pixels (or 12x8 pixels)
and then applying the above weighted mean on these few pixels.
p.s. I checked: The one-pixel color is by LC built from the
arithmetic mean of the color channels, nearly as fast as an external!
