I developed the following code to convert the NV21 to RGB, and it is working.
/**
* Converts YUV420 NV21 to RGB8888
*
* @param data byte array on YUV420 NV21 format.
* @param width pixels width
* @param height pixels height
* @return a RGB8888 pixels int array. Where each int is a pixels ARGB.
*/
public static int[] convertYUV420_NV21toRGB8888(byte [] data, int width, int height) {
int size = width*height;
int offset = size;
int[] pixels = new int[size];
int u, v, y1, y2, y3, y4;
// i percorre os Y and the final pixels
// k percorre os pixles U e V
for(int i=0, k=0; i < size; i+=2, k+=2) {
y1 = data[i ]&0xff;
y2 = data[i+1]&0xff;
y3 = data[width+i ]&0xff;
y4 = data[width+i+1]&0xff;
u = data[offset+k ]&0xff;
v = data[offset+k+1]&0xff;
u = u-128;
v = v-128;
pixels[i ] = convertYUVtoRGB(y1, u, v);
pixels[i+1] = convertYUVtoRGB(y2, u, v);
pixels[width+i ] = convertYUVtoRGB(y3, u, v);
pixels[width+i+1] = convertYUVtoRGB(y4, u, v);
if (i!=0 && (i+2)%width==0)
i+=width;
}
return pixels;
}
private static int convertYUVtoRGB(int y, int u, int v) {
int r,g,b;
r = y + (int)(1.402f*v);
g = y - (int)(0.344f*u +0.714f*v);
b = y + (int)(1.772f*u);
r = r>255? 255 : r<0 ? 0 : r;
g = g>255? 255 : g<0 ? 0 : g;
b = b>255? 255 : b<0 ? 0 : b;
return 0xff000000 | (b<<16) | (g<<8) | r;
}
This image helps to understand.
If you wanna just grayscale image is easer. You can discard all the U and V info, and take just the Y info. The code would can be like this:
/**
* Converts YUV420 NV21 to Y888 (RGB8888). The grayscale image still holds 3 bytes on the pixel.
*
* @param pixels output array with the converted array o grayscale pixels
* @param data byte array on YUV420 NV21 format.
* @param width pixels width
* @param height pixels height
*/
public static void applyGrayScale(int [] pixels, byte [] data, int width, int height) {
int p;
int size = width*height;
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
p = data[i] & 0xFF;
pixels[i] = 0xff000000 | p<<16 | p<<8 | p;
}
}
To create your Bitmap just:
Bitmap bm = Bitmap.createBitmap(pixels, width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Where pixels is your int [] array.
ScriptIntrinsicYuvToRGB
. This RenderScript is built-in, so you do not have to write a line of C-like code. See this question for details: How to use ScriptIntrinsicYuvToRGB converting yuv to rgba – rwong
