如何使用PIL将灰度转换为假色？

Question

I can't seem to figure out how to take my grayscale function and change it to give me false color. I know I need to break each color (R,G,B) into ranges and then assign colors based on the range for each color. Does anyone have any idea how this can work?

def grayscale(pic):
    (width,height) = pic.size
    for y in range (height):
        for x in range(width):
            pix = cp.getpixel((x,y))
            (r, g, b) = pix
            avg = (r + g + b)//3
            newPix = (avg, avg, avg)
            cp.putpixel((x,y),newPix)
    return cp

Since you never answered my final follow-on question in the comments, I've made a few guesses and implemented something to illustrate how it might be done using only the PIL (or pillow ) module.

In a nutshell, the code converts the image a grayscale, divides up the resulting 0% to 100% luminosity (intensity) pixel range into equally sized sub-ranges, and then assigns a color from a palette to each of them.

from PIL import Image
from PIL.ImageColor import getcolor, getrgb
from PIL.ImageOps import grayscale

try:
    xrange
except NameError:  # Python 3.
    xrange = range

def falsecolor(src, colors):
    if Image.isStringType(src):  # File path?
        src = Image.open(src)
    if src.mode not in ['L', 'RGB', 'RGBA']:
        raise TypeError('Unsupported source image mode: {}'.format(src.mode))
    src.load()

    # Create look-up-tables (luts) to map luminosity ranges to components
    # of the colors given in the color palette.
    num_colors = len(colors)
    palette = [colors[int(i/256.*num_colors)] for i in xrange(256)]
    luts = (tuple(c[0] for c in palette) +
            tuple(c[1] for c in palette) +
            tuple(c[2] for c in palette))

    # Create grayscale version of image of necessary.
    l = src if Image.getmodebands(src.mode) == 1 else grayscale(src)

    # Convert grayscale to an equivalent RGB mode image.
    if Image.getmodebands(src.mode) < 4:  # Non-alpha image?
        merge_args = ('RGB', (l, l, l))  # RGB version of grayscale.

    else:  # Include copy of src image's alpha layer.
        a = Image.new('L', src.size)
        a.putdata(src.getdata(3))
        luts += tuple(xrange(256))  # Add a 1:1 mapping for alpha values.
        merge_args = ('RGBA', (l, l, l, a))  # RGBA version of grayscale.

    # Merge all the grayscale bands back together and apply the luts to it.
    return Image.merge(*merge_args).point(luts)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    R, G, B = (255,   0,   0), (  0, 255,   0), (  0,   0, 255)
    C, M, Y = (  0, 255, 255), (255,   0, 255), (255, 255,   0)
    filename = 'test_image.png'

    # Convert image into falsecolor one with 4 colors and display it.
    falsecolor(filename, [B, R, G, Y]).show()

Below is a composite showing an RGB test image, the intermediate internal 256-level grayscale image, and the final result of changing that into a false color one comprised of only four colors (each representing a range of 64 levels of intensity):

Here's another composite, only this time showing the conversion of an image that's already grayscale into the same palette of 4 false colors.

Is something like this what you're wanting to do?

It looks like that all you want to do is to determine the average brightness per pixel, and make each pixel grey. I would use either native Image functionality for that, or if you want to manipulate individual pixels, at least use numpy for that instead of a nested for loop. Example:

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
import numpy as np

def makeGrey():
    W = 800
    H = 600
    img = Image.new('RGB', (W, H))
    draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)

    draw.rectangle((0, H * 0 / 3, W, H * 1 / 3), fill=(174, 28, 40), outline=None)
    draw.rectangle((0, H * 1 / 3, W, H * 2 / 3), fill=(255, 255, 255), outline=None)
    draw.rectangle((0, H * 2 / 3, W, H * 3 / 3), fill=(33, 70, 139), outline=None)

    img.show()

    pixels = np.array(img.getdata())
    avg_pixels = np.sum(pixels, axis=1) / 3
    grey_img = avg_pixels.reshape([H, W])

    img2 = Image.fromarray(grey_img)
    img2.show()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    makeGrey()
