Picbit

What is?

Picbit is a javascript image processing experiment. This can be used to give you some ideas on how to use the HTML 5 Canvas element to process images in real time and run basic filters.

All the processing being made is pixel oriented and I'm using RgbQuant.js for color quantization. Many thanks to leeoniya for this amazing library.

Links

Some links used to create this tool. As always Wikipedia is a great starting point to learn about something that I don't have any know-how. In this particular case the topics about color difference and color quantization were very helpful.
