Is there a Python library that can handle saving 100 binary images of type .bmp into a single file, and then later reading each image from that file individually?
If such a library does not exist, my alternative plan is to read all 100 binary images, store them in an array in Python, and save that array into a file named 100_images.format.
I am curious about the most efficient format for saving this file since all images are binary with dimensions of 32 by 32 pixels.
One approach I am considering is organizing the 100 images into an array structure like this:
array index
0 0 or 1 for if pixel at (0, 0) in image 1 is white(0) or black(1)
1 0 or 1 for if pixel at (0, 1) in image 1 is white(0) or black(1)
...
1023 0 or 1 for if pixel at (31, 31) in image 1 is white(0) or black(1)
1024 0 or 1 for if pixel at (0, 0) in image 2 is white(0) or black(1)
...
The challenge here lies in deciding what type of file to create. When writing the code to process these images, I envision something like this:
binary_images_manager = new BinaryImagesManager('100_images.format')
for i in range(number_of_images_to_process):
int[][] binary_image = binary_images_manager.readImage(i)
