C# - High Quality Byte Array Conversion of Images
- by Lijo
Hi Team,
I am converting images to byte array and storing in a text file using the following code. I am retrieving them successfully as well.
My concern is that the quality of the retrieved image is not up to the expectation. Is there a way to have better conversion to byte array and retrieving? I am not worried about the space conception.
Please share your thoughts.
string plaintextStoringLocation = @"D:\ImageSource\Cha5.txt";
string bmpSourceLocation = @"D:\ImageSource\Cha50.bmp";
////Read image
Image sourceImg = Image.FromFile(bmpSourceLocation);
////Convert to Byte[]
byte[] clearByteArray = ImageToByteArray(sourceImg);
////Store it for future use (in plain text form)
StoreToLocation(clearByteArray, plaintextStoringLocation);
//Read from binary
byte[] retirevedImageBytes = ReadByteArrayFromFile(plaintextStoringLocation);
//Retrieve from Byte[]
Image destinationImg = ByteArrayToImage(retirevedImageBytes);
//Display Image
pictureBox1.Image = destinationImg;
Thanks
Lijo
