I am trying to create a script that will use a photograph which I created with Matlab by using the im2bw command(it makes a photo black&white). So what I get from Matlab is a 1200x900 array that contains a bunch of 255 and other numbers less than 255 so as I get, it saves this new photo as the uint16 format.
Now, what I am trying to do is use this photograph as an array for my map creator script in unity. But I couldn’t do it. I just wanted to check every single pixel of this black&white photograph(with 2 for loops, you know). If a pixel is black, then the script will create a prefab to its coordinates(like a pixel is at 100x150 coordinates, it will create a prefab at unity world 100x 0y 150z coordinates and so on.)
Create image (ideally as png format) from matlab image
Assign this image to a Texture2D field.
Use the method Texture2D.GetPixels. Use the image size as parameters so you get the full image’s pixels. This will output a Colour[ ] array.
Cycle through these in a for loop, checking each line. Maybe something similar to:
public class ExampleThingy : MonoBehaviour
{
[Tooltip("Assign the map you want loaded as an image here")]
public Texture2D texture;
public Color match;
public void PixelToWorldMapper()
{
Color[] pixels = texture.GetPixels();
int columns = 0;
int rows = 0;
for (int p = 0; p < pixels.Length; p++)
{
columns++;
if(columns >= texture.width)
{
rows++;
columns = 0;
}
if (pixels[p] == match)
{
// You know it was a match on row 'x' and column 'y'. Use row and column as X and Y coordinates for map system.
}
}
}
}
I can’t confirm that row and column are the right way round so you’d need to tinker yourself, but it’d just be something like this I think.
Guys thank you for your support. I was trying to use Nigey’s codes and I found out(after 2 hours omg ) in advanced section, i should tick read/write enable and change “non power of 2” section to “None”. It works! thank you everybody
