Question

Is there a way to do a FishEye (or Barrel transformation) effect on a image with PHP-GD?
I found this with some code, but I have a hard time porting it to PHP.

How can I implement a fisheye lens effect (barrel transformation) in MATLAB?

Answer 1

But – It is possible with GD and fast!! in comparison with ImageMagick

Create a new image with the size of (2*SourceWidth)/PI.
Walk trough each pixel of the new image and find the distance from the center.
d_source=hypot(x-centerX,y-centerY)
Find the corresponding distance in the source image by d_dest.=2*r*asin(d_source/r)/2
r is the half width of the destination image.
See examples with bench mark: http://meindesign.net/picture2bubble/picture2bubble.php

function fisheye($infilename,$outfilename){
     $im=imagecreatefrompng($infilename);
     $ux=imagesx($im);//Source imgage width(x) 
     $uy=imagesy($im);//Source imgage height(y) 
     $umx=$ux/2;//Source middle
     $umy=$uy/2;
     if($ux>$uy)$ow=2*$uy/pi();//Width for the destionation image
     else $ow=2*$ux/pi();
     $out=imagecreatetruecolor($ow+1,$ow+1); 
     $trans=imagecolortransparent($out,ImageColorAllocate($out,0,0,0));
     imagefill($im,1,1,$trans); 
     for($c=0;$c<imagecolorstotal($im);$c++){//Copy palette
        $col=imagecolorsforindex($im,$c);
        imagecolorset($out,$c,$col[red],$col[green],$col[blue]);
        }
     $om=$ow/2;//destination middle
     for($x=0;$x<=$ow;++$x){//Loop X in destination image
        for($y=0;$y<=$ow;++$y){//Loop y in destination image
           $otx=$x-$om;//X in relation to the middle
           $oty=$y-$om;//Y in relation to the middle
           $oh=hypot($otx,$oty);//distance
           $arc=(2*$om*asin($oh/$om))/(2);
           $factor=$arc/$oh;
           if($oh<=$om){//if pixle inside radius
             $color=imagecolorat($im,round($otx*$factor+$umx),round($oty*$factor+$umy));
             $r = ($color >> 16) & 0xFF;
             $g = ($color >> 8) & 0xFF;
             $b = $color & 0xFF;
             $temp=imagecolorexact($out, $r, $g, $b);
             imagesetpixel($out,$x,$y,$temp);
             }
           }
        }
     imagepng($out,$outfilename);
     }
