i have this working with a wp install: the example below is a multi image upload. But to be honest i did away with the ajax due to the time involved with the request. It resizes the image before upload.
frontend
function resizeBase64Img(base64, width, height) {
var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.width = width;
canvas.height = height;
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
var deferred = $.Deferred();
$("<img/>").attr("src", base64).load(function() {
context.scale(width/this.width, height/this.height);
context.drawImage(this, 0, 0);
deferred.resolve($("<img/>").attr("src", canvas.toDataURL('image/jpg')));
});
return deferred.promise();
}
function readFile(file) {
var reader = new FileReader();
var deferred = $.Deferred();
reader.onload = function(event) {
deferred.resolve(event.target.result);
};
reader.onerror = function() {
deferred.reject(this);
};
if (/^image/.test(file.type)) {
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
} else {
reader.readAsText(file);
}
return deferred.promise();
}
jQuery(document).on('change', '.imageup', function(event){
var maximages=4;
var imagecount=jQuery("#imagesholder > div").length;
var length= this.files.length;
var images= new FormData;
var processKey=0;
var i=1;
jQuery.each(event.target.files, function(key, value){
// number of images control.
imagecount++;
if(imagecount > maximages) {
var full=true;
jQuery('.imageup').remove();
jQuery('#imageinput').html("Image Quota Full, Please delete some images if you wish to change them");
return;
} else if (imagecount == maximages) {
var full=true;
jQuery('.imageup').remove();
jQuery('#imageinput').html('<div class="image-box-full">Image Quota Full: delete images to change them</div>');
}
//call resize functions
var name=value;
$.when( readFile(value) ).done(function(value) {
resizeBase64Img(value, 300, 200).done(function(newImg){
images[processKey]=[];
images[processKey]['url']=newImg[0].src;
images[processKey]['name']=name.name;
processKey++;
if(length===processKey) {
//----------------INSERT AJAX TO RUN HERE SUBMITTING IMAGES (THE FORMDATA) E.G
jQuery.ajax({
url: '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php',
type: 'POST',
action: 'uploadimg',

}

i++;
if(full === true) {
jQuery('.image-box-full').show();
}
});
});//end when
});//end each
jQuery(this).val('');
});//end on change
server:

$error = false;
//if ( ! function_exists( 'wp_handle_upload' ) ) require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/file.php' );
