How to Binarize ICO Images and Photos with Python

The introduction of color photography marked a pivotal shift in the photographic sphere. Nevertheless, the allure of the classic black and white image still persists. In spite of the prevalence of color cameras, many individuals still opt to convert their photographs into black and white. This transformation is typically achieved through a binarization process, replacing each pixel with a binary value: “0” for white and “1” for black. Black and white images are often used for more than just artistic purposes, finding practical application in scenarios such as printing illustrations in publications like books and newspapers. Within the Python graphics library, you have the ability to set a pixel brightness threshold. Pixels below this threshold assume a black color, while those above it adopt a white color. An adaptive binarization technique is also available, considering the surrounding pixel values to create seamless transitions between color boundaries in the resultant black and white image. For binarizing ICO files, we will utilize Aspose.Imaging for Python via .NET API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use image manipulation and conversion API for Python platform. You may install it using the following command from your system command.

The system command line

>> pip install aspose-imaging-python-net

Steps to Binarize ICO via Python

You need the aspose-imaging-python-net to try the following workflow in your own environment.

  • load ICO files with Image.Load method;
  • binarize image;
  • save binarized image to disc in the supported by Aspose.Imaging format.

System Requirements

Aspose.Imaging for Python is supported on all major operating systems. Just make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

  • Microsoft Windows / Linux with .NET Core Runtime.
  • Python and PyPi package manager.

  • About Aspose.Imaging for Python API

    Aspose.Imaging API is an image processing solution to create, modify, draw or convert images (photos) within applications. It offers: cross-platform Image processing, including but not limited to conversions between various image formats (including uniform multi-page or multi-frame image processing), modifications such as drawing, working with graphic primitives, transformations (resize, crop, flip&rotate, binarization, grayscale, adjust), advanced image manipulation features (filtering, dithering, masking, deskewing), and memory optimization strategies. It’s a standalone library and does not depend on any software for image operations. One can easily add high-performance image conversion features with native APIs within projects. These are 100% private on-premise APIs and images are processed at your servers.

    ICO What is ICO File Format

    The ICO file format is an image file format for computer icons in Microsoft Windows. ICO files contain one or more small images at multiple sizes and color depths, such that they may be scaled appropriately. In Windows, all executables that display an icon to the user, on the desktop, in the Start Menu, or in Windows Explorer, must carry the icon in ICO format.
